  • 🏆 A new achievement for the “Raphael’s Cross” ✨ Our lighting design, after being officially selected by the German Design Council, has also won the German Design Award 2026 in the category “Excellent Architecture - Lighting Design”. “The subtle, precise lighting in The Raphael’s Cross,” reads the jury’s statement, “accentuates fine reliefs and colors with remarkable effect. The harmonious interplay of a custom display case, targeted light distribution, and special filters creates a captivating presentation. The consistent attention to conservation is especially impressive, powerfully protecting the piece while showcasing its aesthetic presence in a distinctive way.” #GDA26 #GermanDesignAward #marcomiglioli #archilightstudio #MuseoPoldiPezzoli #LightingDesign #Exhibitionlighting
  • Frankfurt am Main, Germany 🏆 During the award ceremony of the 2026 German Design Award, we received the prize for our museum lighting project for the “Raphael’s Cross” by Raphael Sanzio at the Museo Poldi Pezzoli. ✨ It was truly moving to receive this prestigious award, especially because, as stated in the jury’s motivation, this prize recognises the extensive work and research carried out to prevent the long-term degradation of pictorial pigments caused by light radiation. For us lighting a museum or a work of art does not simply mean making it visible but means, while still ensuring its best possible appreciation, protecting and preserving it for future generations. #GDA26 #GermanDesignAward #marcomiglioli #archilightstudio #MuseoPoldiPezoli #LightingDesign #Exhibitionlighting

  • ✏️ Sketches of some lantern settings. Hand drawing by Marco Miglioli “Phluò” This phosphorescent lamp is a self-charging light source💡, resistant to harsh weather 🌧️, impact 💥, and vandalism 🚫. It can be made in just a few hours ⏱️, even by non-specialists, using easily available materials — which means it can also offer opportunities for social inclusion and empowerment among displaced communities. It can of course be used individually or combined with others to illuminate larger areas. ✨ “As humanitarian needs constantly grow and resources shrink,” - reads the award motivation - the lamp combines innovation with essential cost efficiency, needed to implement on a large scale […]. The simple sustainable designs make them usable in the most difficult conditions (with very limited access to technology)”. Thanks to its modularity and durability, Phluò can be applied in housing, schools, emergency medical facilities, and outdoor pathways. 🌍 The “Phluò” project is an opportunity to explore a new form of low-cost, sustainable lighting with a real-world application - not just theoretical - bringing light where it’s needed! We are proud to have developed this project first of all because of its ethical and social purpose and because it’s a highly sustainable - and sustainability also represents social responsibility! ✨ Lighting and design project: Marco Miglioli ArchiLight Studio & Sapiens Design Studio; Client: international Rescue Committee; Organisation: Wazoku, with the support of Airbel Impact Lab, Sea Freight Labs, Pledge 1%. #phosphorescence #marcomiglioli #archilightstudio #resilientlighting #IRC #wazoku #refugeecamps
  • 💡 Prototype of the “Phluò” phosphorescent lamp. It doesn’t need electricity to light up a small space ⚡, It shines for 12 hours 💡, It lasts for more than 25 years 🌍, And it costs only 5 euros 💶. “Phluò” is the name of the modular phosphorescent lamp prototype with which we won the competition “Application of Phosphorescence Technology for Toilet Lighting in Refugee Camps” promoted by IRC (International Rescue Committee) and Wazoku. The aim of the competition was to: “Identify sustainable and innovative solutions to make toilets for women and girls in refugee camps or settlements for internally displaced people safer and more comfortable, through the use of phosphorescent lighting.” The result was a lamp with a simple and sustainable design, which can also be used in the most difficult conditions and where access to technology is limited. 🌍 The “Phluò” project is an opportunity to explore a new form of low-cost, sustainable lighting with a real-world application - not just theoretical - bringing light where it’s needed!

  • ✨ Showlight 25 ✨ A conference on theatrical lighting (and beyond), held every four years in a different city... This time, it was Dijon's turn! 🎤 “Thinks change According on how they are illuminated” On stage at Showlight 25, I shared my experience through a story that weaves together theatre and architecture. My talk focused on how architecture can change over time depending on variations in lighting, and how we might treat built spaces and artworks as if they were theatres, where light not only reveals, but guides and becomes part of the narrative, shaping tension, silence, and memory. It was a unique opportunity to exchange reflections and research with professionals from all over the world, who, like me, see light not just as a tool, but as a true language. 🙏 Thank you to Showlight for inviting me, to the entire committee for organising such a rich and well-curated event, and to all the speakers and attendees for the inspiring exchange of ideas, to everyone who listened, asked questions, and shared thoughts. 📷 pictures by © Jean Nguyen, Courtesy of Showlight #Showlight2025 #marcomiglioli #archilightstudio
  • ✨ Showlight 25 ✨ A conference on theatrical lighting (and beyond), held every four years in a different city... This time, it was Dijon's turn! 🎤 “Things change according on how they are illuminated” A journey through projects where light shapes space, time, and the relationship between audience and scene. 🎭 My talk focused on the parallels between how lighting is used in architecture and in theatre to create different “scenes” – evoking both emotion and memory. 🙏 Grateful to Showlight for the invitation, to the entire committee for curating such an inspiring programme, and to all the speakers and participants for the generous exchange of ideas. #Showlight2025 #marcomiglioli #archilightstudio #museumlighting #stagelighting #architecturallighting #artlighting #lightingdesign #LightingCommunity #ProfessionalsOnStage #InternationalDesign #LightCulture
