Directors
We lead our business
Light is our passion. Carla, Karsten, Raoul and Thomas founded Lichtvision in 1997. Today, we are an internationally active lighting design office with new partners and directors, specialising in artificial lighting design and daylight design. We are united by the motivation to design with light – to create a place that people remember.
