lights

Our lights emerge from the experience developed in our lighting designs projects and the study of the function and emotion of the light interacting with space and people. artec3 Studio, by merging research, technology and taking care of details, has developed new concepts of light.

lab

The lab department has explored the most interactive, social, artistic and exciting aspects of the light as a channel to express intangible contents. This enables us to shape our perception and cognition when being part of experiences, interacting with artworks, or creating identities through light. The artec3 lab, in continuous artistic experimentation with light, has evolved to summalab. Find more about it.

about

artec3 is an international awarded light workshop with over 20 years of experience, founded by lighting designer Maurici Ginés in 1998. We work with light, developing projects in architectural lighting design, creating light-art works and luminaires, from our offices in Barcelona, Mexico City, Madrid and New York.

The aim is to offer our clients all the potential that shaping light can provide, creating works that connect the space with people and corporate and institutional identities, encouraging perception, knowledge and emotion.

In order to do so, we are organized in 3 specialized departments:

Lighting design: Architectural lighting projects
Lab: Light-art creation lab
Lights: Luminaires design

process


Our process is a constant search of the interaction that the light can generate among the materiality, space and people, how it can make us adapt better to our environment and how together with the design and art can influence our behavior in a positive way.

The entire process is supported by internal quality controls throughout all phases of the project, ensuring excellent works that achieve the client's goals.
