[d]arc awards
The [d]arc awards is a unique concept utilising [d]arc media's reputation as being the most widely read and respected lighting design media company globally. In collaboration with creative consultants Light Collective, [d]arc media has created a unique opportunity to get every design studio involved in the awards process.
Anyone can enter (lighting designers, architects, interior designers or manufacturers) and once the shortlist has been chosen by an international jury of lighting designers, independent lighting designers, architects, interior designers and product designers are invited to vote on their favourite projects and products making this the only truly peer-to-peer lighting design awards in the world.

Alexandre Joncas, Head Designer, Studio d’Armes
“darc magazine demonstrates again and again the relevance of having a magazine entirely dedicated to the world of lighting. Its quality of editing and writing has always made the creations of d’Armes shine. And, it is refreshing to be able to take our eyes off the screen and immerse ourselves in a printed publication.”
Jo Littlefair, Director & Co-founder, Goddard Littlefair
“darc continues to go from strength to strength and is increasingly visible in the design community, thanks to its great layout and content, as well as a lively programme of awards and events that ensures it really engages with its core readership.”
David Trubridge Design Studio
“darc has been wonderful for us because the magazine has accepted us into the global lighting community, despite our remoteness in New Zealand from the main centres of the world. One gets the sense that some magazines are a very closed shop, but not so darc, and this should assure readers that they really are seeing the best and most interesting lighting in the world. Some people would argue that magazines are a thing of the past, but darc has managed to create its own successful model that bucks this trend and we are very happy to be a part of it.”
Tzetzy Naydenova, Managing Partner, VISO
“I love the fact that darc focuses only on light. Every issue offers interesting and relevant content, both in copy and visuals. The exceptional team makes sure that every issue has global appeal, and that is why darc is the go-to publication for VISO.”
Robert Sonneman, Founder & Creative Visionary, Sonneman – A Way of Light
“As an individual that takes incredible pride in the challenge and refinement of craft, my team and I are consistently impressed with the quality of work that darc puts forth in each issue. As a champion of the dynamic field of contemporary lighting, darc delivers engaging content, prestigious awards programming, and vibrant events time after time – all of which we are honoured to have been apart of over the last few years.”
Ellie Coombes, Nulty+
“darc combines beauty and inspiration with knowledge and insight. The dedicated team at darc understand light as a medium as well as a fixture. An integral part of the lighting industry they keep us all in touch and up-to-date through considered and visually stimulating content. Needless to say, you are never far from a copy of darc in the Nulty studio.”
Andrew Harwood, Former Projects Director DesignLSM
“I have been reading darc for the past five years; the team and myself find it to be a continuous source for new and innovative lighting inspiration. Each edition features a great focus on new to market products and lighting schemes, which capture the true essence of creative design.”
George Anthony Gotti & Oliver John Palmer Michell, UXUS
“darc is a constant source of inspiration for our team, with its global outlook on new and exciting lighting design projects. With a considered design and editorial quality, the magazine has celebrated the role of lighting in the creation of the innovative, sensorial design that UXUS specialises in.”
