Kumquat Lab is a light art studio based in Edinburgh. We create evocative installations for public spaces and cultural events. Inspired by the emotional power of light, we aim to bring people together and spark new collective memories.

Tom and Sébastien

With backgrounds in Creative Computing and Lighting Design, and a shared passion for light as a poetic and expressive medium, we founded the light art studio Kumquat Lab in 2021.

Our work embraces a minimalist aesthetic, focusing on streamlined designs that tell engaging stories and bring public spaces to life.
