Niken and Meta participated in Lights in Alingsås 2016, an experience that left a lasting impression on both of them as students. This year, they are thrilled to return as Workshop Heads and contribute once again to this inspiring community. To them, lighting design workshops are ideal platforms for exploration, experimentation, and education.
Originally from Indonesia, Niken began her career as an architect in Singapore, where she discovered light as a fascinating element. She enjoys observing how daylight shapes spaces and architecture throughout the day, while artificial lighting transforms them into entirely different experiences at night. This curiosity led her to pursue a Master’s in Architectural Lighting Design at Hochschule Wismar, Germany.
During Niken´s time in Singapore, she had the opportunity to work on diverse projects, from commercial and hospitality, to museums and large-scale masterplans.
Afterward, Niken returned to Singapore and worked as an architectural lighting designer until 2023. During this time, she had the opportunity to work on diverse projects, ranging from commercial and hospitality to museums and large-scale lighting masterplans.
