What we do
Noga Projects brings the playfulness of natural and artificial light into everyday environments, event venues and stage productions. Each work is made to slow you down, to make you notice something the place was already offering.
We work with municipalities, regions, festivals, architects, property developers, cultural institutions, and companies commissioning art for cultural, place-making, or organisational purposes.
Artworks made of light.
Noga Projects work with architects, curators and urban planners to develop site-based public artworks that:
Turn the unique qualities of an everyday space into new and unexpected experiences.
Change appearance throughout the day and the year, in direct response to natural conditions.
Are activated by natural light and existing urban light; responsible artificial lighting can be added if needed.
Poetic lighting for events.
Noga Projects work with festivals and event organisers to develop poetic and playful light atmospheres that:
Transform the visual experience of any space, both indoors and outdoors.
Repurpose waste materials and are mindful of the environment.
Minimise energy consumption.
Stage lighting design.
Noga Projects collaborate with artists in performing arts to create thoughtful stage lighting concepts that:
Are adapted for touring with limited availability of lighting equipment.
Work in site-specific settings and different types of venues.
Can incorporate natural light.
Workshops on darkness & light.
Noga Projects designs and runs workshops for public organisations, cultural institutions and the private sector. Each workshop:
Uses light and darkness as prompts for attention, reflection, or spatial awareness.
Is built to be run once as a standalone experience, or as part of a longer programme.
Draws on Sofia's practice as an artist and lighting designer.
About Noga Projects
Noga Projects is a lighting studio & consultancy founded by artist and lighting designer Sofia Charlotta Ivarsson. Sofia is a graduate of the Kolding School of Design and brings her background in theatre lighting, scenography, and communication design to her work.
The name 'Noga' originates from the Swedish word for being careful and precise about something. It's the disposition behind the work: paying close attention to a place, and inviting others to do the same.
