Introduction to Workshop: We Who Rebel for Light II
Get ready to shake things up at the second edition of "We Who Rebel for Light".
A collaboration between Rebel Light and the University of Southeastern Norway as part of Light Symposium 2024. Join us for a lineup of inspiring workshops, moderated talks, and dynamic discussions that challenge the conventional. Dive into topics like biophilic design, circularity in lighting, and the daring concept of darkness design. Continue your journey into the future of lighting design with a series of hands-on workshops, building on the inspiring keynotes from Tuesday. These interactive Rebel Light sessions will give you the opportunity to dive deeper into practical and conceptual lighting challenges alongside industry leaders.
These workshops are ideal for lighting designers, architects, engineers, both professionals and students, who want to engage in creative problem-solving and innovative approaches to lighting design.
The Rebel Light Workshops are from 9.30 - 14.45. The three different workshops, Phos, Lumo and Stoane are repeated x3 so you wont miss a THING!
Spaces are limited so register for your preferred times.

Rebel Light Phos Workshops
The 90% Challenge: Enriching The New Human Habitat
Redefine indoor spaces through the power of biophilic lighting design. Join our immersive masterclass led by Xander Cadisch of Phos | B Corp.
In this transformative workshop, you'll:
*Confront the 90% Challenge: Redefining our primary habitat - the indoors
*Unlock the potential of Phos' cutting-edge, biomorphic lighting instruments
*Master the art of creating adaptive, nature-inspired environments
*Collaborate on real-world design challenges with fellow innovators
*Become part of "Light Tribe" – a community of visionary designers
*Harness the essence of human evolution in your designs. Learn to craft spaces that not only illuminate but truly resonate with our innate connection to nature.
*Transform your approach to lighting design. Shape the future of human habitats.
Workshop leader:
Xander Cadish, Sustainability Director Chief Technical Officer at Phos Light and author of “The Light Within Us’, a book on the neuroscience of light and biophilic design.
Rebel Light Lumoconcept Workshops
LumoConcept presents:
Authentic Lighting - Shedding light on biophilic design
“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” — Carl Gustav Jung
Light is more than just a tool; it’s an experience. In today’s design world, understanding the emotional impact of light is essential for creating spaces that feel authentic and alive. Spaces that spark a desire to stay, explore and come back.
Join us for Authentic Lighting, a workshop with the creative masterminds at Lumoconcept, where we explore the deep connection between biophilic design and lighting.
You’ll discover:
* How to use light to reflect history, heritage, and modern needs.
* Real-world examples of custom lighting solutions that bring out a space’s unique identity.
* The balance between physical and non-physical lighting and its effect on human experience.
This workshop invites you to think beyond technical details and engage with light and materials as a powerful medium for creating meaningful, immersive spaces.
Let’s design for authentic lighting that connects people, places, and emotions!
Workshop leaders: Edina Bugár Jánosi András Balázs Édes
Rebel Light Stoane Workshops
Before & after: Take a Stoane Lighting product through remanufacturing
A circular economy apply zero waste principles. To achieve this we need to redesign both our hardware and our brainware, we must think new in order to make use of old.
But how do we design for renewing? And when does remanufacture make sense? How does it affect environmental data and most importantly, is it environmentally correct to renew and reuse?
In this workshop you get to work alongside one of the industry leaders in circular lighting and environmental metrics, Stoane Lighting, to improve your understanding of data and sustainability metrics, and how they apply to the practical reality that is our products and their application.
In this workshop you get to:
* Learn how to apply the TM65 assessment to a remanufacture Vs a new manufacture
* Disassemble and Remanufacture a Stoane Lighting product!
* Compare EPD and TM65 data to understand the differences in measurable results
Workshop leaders:
Irene Mazzei, PhD, Sustainability lead, Stoane Lighting
Ruairidh M. Head of Specification Support, Stoane Lighting
