All about
Light

career
IFI is a lighting design studio established in 1989 in Athens to meet the demands of complex lighting projects. Innovators from the start, the team offers a multidisciplinary approach consisting of people from mixed educational backgrounds who were and are committed to the approach that lighting design is an integral part of the architectural vision. The result was the first lighting design studio in Greece. Today IFI is a highly regarded lighting design boutique agency with a broad portfolio of projects in different scales, realized both in Greece and abroad.
Our
Expertise
Our experience encompasses a wide range of project typologies and includes innovative design techniques along with in-depth understanding of industrial design, lighting technology, and energy efficiency.
For us though, lighting is so much more. Seeing and feeling are inextricably linked when it comes to light. And this is what we’ve built our entire belief system on, even our business. The business of feeling from seeing.
OUR SERVICES
WE ARE IFI. WE MAKE LIGHT
We make architects' ideas
better with light.
We make homes, offices and everyday environments look less every day, with light.But what we really love to do is make you feel and ultimately experience something in a whole new and emotive way with light.

Our Team
The studio consists of an outstanding team of both young and experienced light designers, who all contribute to the IFI commitment for 'better lighting by design'.
Our aim is to create spaces where people not only live but thrive, thus we do not stop on a basic calculative approach to lighting design, where light levels are the sole purpose. IFI also tenders on the non–quantifiable aspects of lighting, ensuring maximum comfort.
While keeping the architectural design concept at front and center, we also try to infuse the design with artistic elements to produce nightscapes that are truly unique. At IFI, lighting goes beyond just seeing, it's about getting you to feel something. And that's exactly what we aspire to do.

HOUSEKEEPING
Our concepts are based on the perception of light not solemnly as a conventional mean for highlighting the architectural project, but also as a tool of interpretation and creation of the different manifestations the project can get when passing from darkness to light and vice versa.

To create an immersive and well-balanced environment that enhances a space's visual andsensory features, a holistic approach to lighting design involves seamlessly combining aesthetics, functionality, and the psychological impact of light.

Hands on approach
While we work on a project, we adopt a hands-on approach by collaborating in real-time with the contractors, involving meticulous on-site adjustments and fine-tuning fixture placements to ensure the optimal implementation of the envisioned lighting scheme within the architectural space.
2/5
Experience Space
We assess the performance of various lighting fixtures to inform evidence-based design decisions, ensuring optimal lighting solutions that fit diverse architectural projects. Both the team and all project involved parties can experience simulated lighting environments in vitro.
3/5
Project in the center
The studio approaches lighting design in an integrated way and delivers not only lighting design schemes but complete works of lighting. IFI manages the project from the first design stages to the final implementation phases, ensuring that the results exceed the project briefing.
4/5
Sustainability
We approach every project with a sustainable mind from the concept stage. Our studio involves prioritizing energy-efficient technologies, minimizing lighting pollution, and incorporating eco-friendly materials to create lighting solutions that contribute to long-term resource conservation and ecological balance in the built environment.
5/5
Daylight integration
Effective use of natural light is another essential component of great lighting design. Our experts collaborate with architects to comprehend the distribution of natural light within building geometries and its ability to reflect and divert in various hues and materials.
