Stories with Light Book Launch Event Success

We’re still buzzing from last week’s Stories with Light book launch — and what an evening it was.

On Wednesday 21 May, we officially launched Stories with Light, a new book by Michael Grubb and Francis Pearce, at Clerkenwell Design Week. Held in the atmospheric House of Detention, a former Victorian prison turned exhibition space, the event formed part of the [d]arc thoughts talks programme and brought together the lighting community, creatives, friends, and industry peers to celebrate the stories that shaped the book.

From the insightful Q&A session with the authors to the post-talk drinks reception, it was an evening full of conversation, connection, and genuine excitement.

We’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us — for turning up, asking thoughtful questions, and celebrating this project with such warmth.

Special thanks go to [d]arc media for hosting us as part of their inspiring Clerkenwell Design Week schedule this year, and to Applelec for supporting the event. Your partnership helped bring the launch to life in every sense.

More photos from the evening will be shared soon, and if you missed the launch but are curious about the book, we’re pleased to say Stories with Light is now available to purchase at Waterstones, here

Thank you again to everyone who made this launch such a memorable one.
