Our Journey Thus Far


Studio Illumine was founded in Shanghai in 2012 and is comprised of an international team with varied expertise.

Our team members bring a wealth of experience from various design realms, ranging from interior design to theatre and retail design. In an industry saturated with engineers, we pride ourselves on the meticulous curation of our team, prioritizing on each member’s unique backgrounds and a shared passion for design. At Studio Illumine, collaboration is at the heart of our ethos, as we believe that the synergy of our team is integral to delivering exceptional results.  

In 2022, Studio Illumine embarked on a strategic expansion and established a base in South-East Asia with the inauguration of our Kuala Lumpur office. This office caters to the escalating demands of the growing construction industry in the SEA region and to address the heightened awareness of quality lighting in the built environment. Our KL office operates synergistically with our well-established Shanghai office. This collaborative approach ensures that Studio Illumine delivers unparalleled expertise and innovative solutions across the entirety of Asia, as we continue to set new benchmarks for excellence in lighting design throughout the continent. 

Philosophy & Approach


Lighting is a fundamental element to good design and must be integrated at the conception of every architectural andinterior design projects.

At Studio Illumine, we believe the best lighting solution is one that enhances the design and experience of a space. We see it as an artistic expression that demands a delicate balance between technical precision and tectonic considerations. Achieving this equilibrium involves a deep understanding of cutting-edge technologies, lighting codes, sustainability principles, a keen awareness of the built environment and – crafting a tectonic ambiance through the strategic interplay of light and shadow. Our team excels in crafting aesthetic environments of comfort because we value balanced, meaningful, and integrated lighting solutions.  

Studio Illumine also stands as an independent entity, completely unaffiliated with manufacturers. Our unwavering commitment to crafting good lighting is the cornerstone of our decision-making process. At Studio Illumine, we firmly assert that design takes precedence, and this value guides every choice and recommendation we make.
