Nicolò Brambilla CLD, IALD, IES

Senior Lighting Designer, Studio Leader

Nicolò designs lighting that is well-integrated with the architecture, enhancing the architect’s concept. He brings to his projects over fourteen years of experience in lighting. His lighting design work in Melbourne encompasses several project types from hospitality to retail to worship to sport. His clients also benefit from his experience working internationally in Milan, The Netherlands, Hong Kong, China and Southeast Asia. He uses this broad base of experience to listen carefully, apply a global perspective to possible lighting solutions, and design mindfully for each project location.

Nicolò is interested in the physical as well as human factors of light. He continues to study the impact of light on emotion and well-being, and he combines this approach with years of technical lighting knowledge gained whilst practicing worldwide.
