Arte LUMIS Shortlisted for 2026 LUX RED Readers’ Choice Awards

Make it stand out

Arte LUMIS has been selected for the 2026 LUX RED Readers’ Choice Awards, with two sculptural light works—Dancing Cobra and Burning Crescent—featured in this year’s competition.

Presented by LUX Interiors + Design, the RED Awards spotlight outstanding work across architecture, interiors, and design-forward craft. Being included in the Readers’ Choice selection places Arte LUMIS among a curated group of studios and makers recognized for originality, material intelligence, and contribution to contemporary design.

The Featured Works

Dancing Cobra

Carved from a single, character-rich olive branch, Dancing Cobra explores tension and movement through light. The piece balances organic asymmetry with deliberate illumination, allowing shadow and glow to interact as equal design elements. It is a study in restraint—where light reveals the form rather than overwhelming it.

Burning Crescent

Burning Crescent focuses on contrast: solid mass versus negative space, warmth versus darkness. Light is embedded as an integral structural component, not an afterthought. The result is a sculptural object that shifts character depending on ambient conditions and point of view.

Both works reflect Arte LUMIS’ ongoing investigation into light as a sculptural medium—where material, form, and illumination are developed in dialogue rather than hierarchy.

Industry Recognition

The LUX RED Readers’ Choice Awards provide a platform for industry peers, clients, and the broader design community to engage directly with the work. Inclusion in the 2026 selection represents meaningful third-party recognition of Arte LUMIS’ approach to light art and functional sculpture.

Readers’ Choice voting is now open through January 23, 2026.
