who we are
Lux Populi is a first-principles lighting design team, collaborating with creative practices from around the world to develop custom crafted projects. As we grow, we’re excited to be forming a new team bridging Oxford and London to create unique solutions for projects throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India.
Our Mexico City office of seventeen staff, informed by architecture, joy, identity, behaviour, context and function, have over eleven years created designs that use lighting as a tool crafted to deliver carefully tailored responses to our clients’ individual needs.
Founded in design theory, our work, often at great distances from our projects, have demanded excellent communication skills, a disciplined rigor of design and documentation necessary to permit a construction team to successfully deliver projects. We build ongoing relationships with our collaborators and clients, this is the outcome of consistent commitment to success, but also an enjoyable project experience.
