Studio
More than light, intent.
Lighting design for architecture, interiors and public space. We interpret what a project needs and specify accordingly, balancing benefit, cost and aesthetics.
Our philosophy
Light is always present, which makes it a complex element and one that demands particular care when it is used as a resource in design. Its quality affects how a space is understood, and it affects the people who are standing in it.
Lighting design therefore exists to interpret what the client needs and to select the right products for it, striking a balance between benefit, cost and how the thing looks.

Our story
At Illuminations we offer our clients a professional, tailored lighting design service for projects of every kind: homes, retail, offices, clinics and more. We lead the lighting market in Panama, supplying the best luminaire brands and offering a broad advisory service across both concept and detailed design.
With more than fifteen years in the sector, alongside Lafayette Lighting — a lighting distribution company operating across Latin America — Illuminations works as a specialist design arm locally, developing projects in order to give clients a complete service that brings together technology, the high end, and design.
That is how we have come to light more than three million square metres, with completed projects across Latin America and the United States. Backing new markets, we have expanded by opening offices in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and Miami, where we light to the same standards of work and professionalism that have always defined us.
