Meet Our Team
Raquel Contente
Founder & Architect
An architect with a passion for illumination design. Raquel is drawn to spaces that breathe — where light is intentional, details have meaning, and every decision shapes comfort, beauty, and identity.
She works between Switzerland and Portugal on demanding illumination projects, with a strong focus on lighting design, architectural integration, and technical precision. Raquel brings both creative vision and practical expertise to every phase — from initial concept to final installation.
Having experience as both an illumination designer and project owner, Raquel understands what truly matters in lighting design: the subtle interplay of shadow and light, the warmth that transforms a space, and the technical details that ensure longevity and performance.
Illumination is not what you show.
It's what people feel — every day, effortlessly.
