The renowned UAE-based lighting design studio, Studio Lumen, is reaching new strengths following a year of expansion that includes team growth and senior appointments.
Managing Partner Siddharth Mathur’s role has evolved and sees him now appointed as Managing Partner & CEO, guiding the company through a period of exceptional growth in 2024 and paving the way for an exciting future. Vinod Pillai, a cornerstone of Studio Lumen’s creative vision, has become an equity partner and will now serve as Partner & Design Director, cementing his integral role in driving design excellence.
Savio Rozario has also been appointed as an equity partner and promoted to Operations Director. This well-deserved recognition highlights his valuable contributions to the growth and evolution of Studio Lumen. These new roles demonstrate the commitment and development of the company, paving the way for a bright future in the industry.
This year, Studio Lumen has continued to establish itself as a well-known business entity in India, with the team settling successfully into their new studio space. The opening of the Indian office was in response to increased project demand in the area and has allowed the company to base the team much closer to clients in the region. The dynamic blend of seasoned professionals and newly recruited team members has created a collaborative and inclusive environment, fostering an exchange of ideas that transcends geographical borders.
The opening of the Indian office was part of a broader overall vision for Studio Lumen, akin to a constellation of stars lighting up the design world. With further office expansion in Dubai, Studio Lumen is poised to illuminate projects on a global scale.
While the Dubai office has always served as the headquarters for Studio Lumen, the significant expansion onto an additional floor within the same building marked a pivotal moment for the firm in 2024. The move demonstrated a substantial investment in fostering a work environment that promoted continuous growth, development and creativity.
Studio Lumen’s continued investment in offices in new regions provides an environment where the industry’s top talent can flourish, demonstrating its commitment to providing clients with top-tier design services internationally. Studio Lumen invites clients and partners to join them on this ever-evolving journey, as they continue to push boundaries and create extraordinary lighting experiences.
Siddharth Mathur said, “We are so proud that we have had such a successful year here at Studio Lumen and that this has allowed us to continue to expand both geographically and within the team. We have had the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse range of clients and newly appointed team members, blending skills and culture to create designs which embody the unique beauty of different parts of the world. Looking forward, the Studio Lumen equity partners have taken a bold and inspiring step by committing to a future where the company will transition to an employee-owned company, promoting a culture of shared responsibility and collective success.
We’re particularly looking forward to next year where we will be expanding our host of studios and offices as a constellation of stars that showcase the impact and importance of light in our lives.”
