[d]arc media to host Stories of Light book launch at CDW


May 7, 2025

(UK) – As part of Clerkenwell Design Week 2025, [d]arc media will host the official launch of Stories with Light, a new book by lighting designer Michael Grubb and journalist Francis Pearce.

The event will take place on Wednesday, 21 May at 17:00 in the House of Detention. Supported by Applelec in partnership with GENLED Acolyte, the event will include a Q&A session with the authors, followed by an informal drinks reception. The launch forms part of the [d]arc thoughts talks programme, presented in collaboration with David Village Lighting.

Described by its authors as a “cabinet of curiosities”, the book blends anecdotes, historical facts, and scientific insight to reveal the many surprising ways light intersects with design, culture, and daily life. It is intended for a broad audience – from designers and students to anyone curious about the world through the lens of light.

Attendance at the event is free for Clerkenwell Design Week visitors, but registration via the official CDW platform is required. Guests are also required to RSVP Here for catering purposes.
