DragonFly

Dragonfly is a sculptural architectural lighting collection designed to become an integral part of the space.

Developed as a bespoke lighting system, Dragonfly can be tailored to virtually any architectural setting. Overall dimensions, glass quantity, drop lengths, density, layout, canopy configuration and glass palette are individually designed around the proportions and geometry of each project. Caption The collection offers a rich selection of colored, translucent and layered art glass, allowing designers to create compositions ranging from sub... More

On Blank Pages. Brixen 2026

Last May we participated in the Water Light Festival 2026 in Brixen (Italy) with our piece On Blank Pages. The installation was presented in front of the city’s cathedral, as part of an edition dedicated to reflecting on peace under the theme “Imagine Peace.” For this occasion, we built a large circular wall of free expression measuring 12 meters in diameter and 3 meters in height, covered with thousands of blank pages illuminated from within, on which visitors could freely write and draw. Melisa Hernández Melisa Hernández Melisa Hernández Melisa Hernández As in previous versions of the piece, we wanted to create a space where people could freely share opinions, questions,... More

Hanging Landscapes.

we presented in Madrid Hanging Landscapes. A low-tech intervention made with white fabric, wind, light and the scent of clean laundry, as part of the LuzMadrid 2026 festival. It gave us particular pleasure to do it in the city where we live and where we have been working since the beginning. Hanging Landscapes brings back an image that belongs to the collective imagination: white sheets stirred by the wind, hanging in the sun, carrying the scent of clean laundry and crossed by clear light. A scene linked to childhood, to the home and to everyday life.

Urban Weaving

Located at the heart of Place Bellecour in Lyon, "Urban Weaving" is a monumental temporary installation that transforms one of the city’s most emblematic public spaces into a true urban cooling oasis, a place for encounter and contemplation. Jules Hidrot Designed by artist Romain Froquet, architect Tristan Israel, AIA Life Designers, and BioGéo Constructions, the installation pays tribute to Lyon’s textile heritage by translating the memory of the Canuts into a series of timber arches and suspended draperies. At the intersection of art, architecture, and urban ecology, the project provides an innovative response to urban heat island challenges by transforming a mineral square into an active climatic device. It combi... More

DAA San Petersburg

The DAA — Design District of Art and Architecture — is one of Saint Petersburg's most significant creative venues: a large-scale building housing furniture and design stores, art galleries, architecture studios, and exhibition pavilions, with each floor dedicated to a different artistic discipline. The commission was simple in its problem statement: a 7,000 square meter interior courtyard, visible from virtually every unit in the building, had no identity and no activity. The directors wanted it transformed. venustas.es venustas.es Our immediate reading of the space was that filling it was not the answer. The courtyard was large enough that any programmatic intervention — terraces, markets, retail, vegetation &... More

85 VDNKH Moscow

The 85 VDNKH Monument is a commemorative sculpture designed for the 85th anniversary of Moscow's VDNKH park the largest exhibition complex in Russia, spanning 235 hectares and welcoming 30 million visitors annually. The project began as a competition entry. The brief called for a piece to be installed in front of the iconic Main Entrance Arch, surrounded by Soviet-era monumental sculptures representing Russian cultural traditions. This context demanded a response that was visually powerful enough to hold its own, yet contemporary enough to mark the anniversary with a fresh perspective. Caption Our conceptual departure was to reject the literal interpretation of '85' as two separate digits. Instead, we developed a single, unbroken for... More

Chorus Ventus

Chorus Ventus, a plant-inspired kinetic artwork by NEON, has been installed as the centrepiece of the new Children’s Garden at Lauritzen Gardens in Omaha, Nebraska. Tom Kessler Tom Kessler Concept & Inspiration As part of the major redevelopment of the Children’s Garden at Lauritzen Gardens the park launched an international open call for a new artwork to serve as a centrepiece at its highest point. The brief called for a piece that would appeal to children, invite interaction, occupy a modest footprint, feel integrated with the garden, and act as an attractor visible from the nearby Route 80 highway. Tom Kessler In the early research stage, NEON studied the tall-grass prairie ecosystem native to central No... More

STRIPES.

Can the city itself become a living archive of our planetary change? STRIPES is an urban-land-art installation that transforms the Boulevard des Champs-Élysées into a monumental climate narrative: a chromatic journey from past to present, from blue to red, from cold to hot. Cosimo Scotucci For centuries the Champs-Élysées has been a stage for history: triumphs, dreams and collective memory. Yet today it stands at the threshold of another defining story: the story of our changing climate. STRIPES is conceived as a visible timeline etched in light: each lamp post tuned to a specific temperature that corresponds to a moment in Earth’s climatic history following the Climate Stripes concept originated fro...

Sementeira Ambulante

Between the back of a shopping centre and a residential building, the garden at Quinta da Armada is a discreet but vibrant refuge. - an oasis.
