“You Say Light, I Think Shadow”
– Aleksandra Stratimirovic & Sandra Praun
SAV Digital Environments had the honor to accompany Dennis Jaques from Maverick Lite and participate in Architect Days - Contour Edition, hosted by Modular Lighting Instruments, held in Kortrijk, Belgium. Contour was an engaging event that showcased innovative lighting solutions and the latest trends in architectural design. Attendees explored various workshops and presentations led by industry experts, focusing on the integration of technology and sustainable practices in lighting design.
The event featured hands-on demonstrations of Modular's products, allowing participants to experience the versatility and functionality of the lighting systems. Networking opportunities facilitated connections among designers, architects, and manufacturers, fostering collaboration and idea exchange. Overall, the event highlighted the importance of lighting in enhancing architectural spaces and emphasized Modular’s commitment to creativity and sustainability in design.
“Through a unique intersection of educational sessions spanning technology, branding, design, installation, and creativity, it’s clear that lighting is more than the sum of its parts. The event left me inspired and reinforced the idea of lighting as both a form of artistic expression and a language to convey a message.” – Stephanie Gilboy, SAV Digital Environments
As lighting technology evolves, it’s important to stay on the forefront. Going to the source is an effective way to do this, even if that means traveling far from home in pursuit of the most advanced and design-forward forms of innovation and illumination. Technology Advisor & Lighting Specialist Stephanie Gilboy traveled with the Maverick Lite Principal Designer, Dennis Jaques to Modular Lighting Instruments as an avenue to enhance our companies’ partnership and to experience the synergy between architecture, lighting, and technology.
