SOPHYA ACOSTA LDS

Sophya Acosta Lighting Design Studio is a team of two Argentinian artistic lighting designers. Our studio has as its main axis the artistic union, allowing us, project by project, to create together with various collaborators that nurture our work.

Our artistic search led us to investigate the field of Light Art and to create pieces where light was the main core and the main element of construction both in LATAM and Europe.
