Sophya Acosta Lighting Design Studio

Sophya Acosta Lighting Design Studio is a boutique lighting design studio founded and directed by Sophya Acosta, working between Barcelona and Buenos Aires.

We create poetic, technically precise lighting experiences across Light Art, Entertainment, Architecture, Residential Design, Consulting, and Education through LIGHT.LAB.

Our work is guided by the belief that light is not only a technical resource, but an emotional, spatial, and artistic language. We use a flexible team of associate designers and collaborators to build the right creative and technical team for each project.
