The international Darc awards, celebrating lighting design, are peer determined: one designer, one vote.

All the projects and the companies that have submitted them will be present on the online Darc directory with the intent that the Darc awards website becomes a comprehensive online lighting design resource that can be used by designers and clients. Shown in photo: a retail project for Hunke Jewellers and Opticians in Ludwigsburg, Germany. Lighting design: pfarré. Decorative lighting suppliers: DGA, Rentex, CTO Lighting, Martine Clair, Erco, Korona, Barthelme, Alurays, Belitz, Flos, and Xal.

  • Live — residential project

  • Bespoke — bespoke fixture
  • Ceiling — decorative pendant or chandelier
  • Wall — decorative wall fixture
