Moderated panel discussion: Carlo D’Alesio, Chris Middleton, Annette Felicitas Häcki
On Monday afternoon, three creative voices come together for a joint conversation about the origins of ideas and the role of light at the beginning of every project.
Carlo D’Alesio, Light Designer and co-founder of D’Alesio & Santoro, shares insights into his creative process and the exhibition architecture he developed in close collaboration with PROLICHT. His perspective bridges concept, emotion and spatial storytelling.
MORE ABOUT CARLO D’ALESIO
Chris Middleton, Architect and co-founder of Kinzo, speaks about the early decisions that shape a project and the role of light at the beginning of spatial thinking. His work explores how architecture and light interact long before a space is realised.
MORE ABOUT CHRIS MIDDLETON
Joining them is Annette Felicitas Häcki, Creative Director behind PROLICHT’s brand positioning “Designed to Create.” She shares how brand work begins and the early insights she looks for as the foundation for a strong brand identity.
Together, they reflect on challenging conventions, making early choices and turning first ideas into meaningful architectural and brand experiences.

Keynote: ZweGiele
On Tuesday, the Swiss design duo ZweGiele – architect Christoph Vollenwyder and designer Lino Amati – provide insight into the development of the PLUQ IN luminaire.
They show how a first idea is shaped through dialogue, refinement and technical precision until it becomes a realised product, and what it takes to turn a concept into a coherent lighting solution.
MORE ABOUT ZWEGIELE
Their talk highlights what true partnership looks like and how PROLICHT supports the process from the first sketch to the finished luminaire.
We look forward to welcoming you to our stand from 08–13 March 2026 in Frankfurt. Light + Building offers a calm, focused and immersive setting – the perfect starting point to discover new ideas, experience our latest innovations and engage in meaningful conversations that move projects forward.
