In this four-part Design Pills series, Valeria Coghi—Lighting Designer at @daas_light—invites us to see light not as decoration, but as dialogue. Across each episode, she unpacks the ethics, emotion, and artistry behind illumination: from protecting the night sky to shaping human experience through subtle, intentional design. For Valeria, light is a living element—one that reveals, regulates, and connects. It’s about restraint as much as brilliance; awareness as much as aesthetics.
Through her reflections, we’re reminded that true lighting design begins with empathy and ends with atmosphere—crafting environments that feel as alive in darkness as they do in light. A conversation on illumination, responsibility, and the invisible architecture of emotion.
