The VLDC at LME 24 in DUBAI

The primary reason for Archifos visit was to represent a project Katia Kolovea, co-founded over the last 3 years together with Martin Klaasen, Amardeep Dugar, Ingmar Klaasen, Martin Lupton and Sharon Stammers! 

 👉 The VLD.Community ! Check it out if you haven’t!
It is a valuable source of inspiration, knowledge, and community-engaging lighting experts worldwide!

With Ingmar Klaasen, Katia hosted interviews with thought leaders, speakers, and show visitors available on VLD YouTube and podcast channels. 

Here’s a collection of photos from our favorite moments in the VLD booth!                        Thanks for your valuable insights and exchange!
