Noortje Lugthart
Lichtadvies 010
Winner of the category
The Inevitable Atmosphere
For making ambience feel inevitable, however carefully it was arranged.
The jury notedAs winner of The Inevitable Atmosphere, Noortje Lugthart is recognised for the measured sensibility she brings to lighting design at Lichtadvies 010. Her preference for burgundy and brushed nickel suggests an assured balance of depth, reflection and restraint. Even her admiration for Lars is expressed with admirable economy.
And also, winner of
Lighting of the Year
For knowing exactly when to leave a room in shadow.
The jury notedFor a body of work no lighting designer should reasonably be capable of, the jury observed an instinct for brushed nickel that cannot be taught, the courage to choose burgundy, and to keep choosing it and the unmistakable influence of Lars, worn lightly. You are hereby named winner of this category, by unanimous and faintly emotional decision.
