At Sol Luminaire’s The Lab 2.1 showroom, guests were treated to an exclusive hands-on demonstration of the Spanish craftsmanship behind A-Emotional Light light’s dreamy luminaries

In a confluence of artisanal craft and innovative design, Sol Luminaire’s premier lighting showroom The Lab 2.1 opened its doors to an exclusive, one-of-a-kind gathering this June.

Singapore’s architecture and design community was invited to enjoy a rare glimpse into the Spanish craftsmanship behind A-Emotional Light, whose luminaires already captivated visitors at Milan Design Week and Design Shanghai this year.

Guests were treated to an intimate, hands-on demonstration of the exquisite artistry behind some of A-Emotional Light’s most iconic creations. These luminaires, celebrated for their unconventional materials and intricate elaboration, were constructed from scratch in front of the audience by Javier Álvarez, A-Emotional Light’s production and project development manager.
