Designing with Light: A Masterclass in Precision and Atmosphere

Lighting, when done right, doesn’t just brighten a room—it gives it soul. It softens hard corners, adds rhythm to flat surfaces, draws the eye, and alters the way we feel in a space. And yet, it’s one of the most overlooked tools in a designer’s repertoire.

In this focused, three-day masterclass—brought to you by Cindrebay India in partnership with Cindrebay Dubai—students are invited to immerse themselves in the world of architectural lighting with Florence-based designer Farzad Shojaei. Drawing from years of international experience, Farzad unpacks how light behaves, how it’s controlled, and how a well-lit room can quietly elevate the everyday.

About the Instructor

Farzad Shojaei

Farzad Shojaei is not just a designer; he’s a meticulous observer of how people interact with space. Trained in Italy and widely travelled, his portfolio includes luxury apartments, boutiques, and curated installations, all unified by a precise command of light. At the Florence Design Academy, where he also teaches, Farzad is known for blending academic rigour with practical realism—an approach that carries seamlessly into this masterclass.

He is as much a craftsman as a designer—precise, poetic, and deeply attuned to the relationship between a person and their space. His approach is not about making rooms look expensive. It’s about making them feel considered.

What You’ll Explore

Over three evenings, you’ll learn:

  • How to think like a lighting designer—not just where to put the fixtures
  • The balance between natural and artificial light, and why both matter
  • Types of lighting: ambient, task, accent, and how they interact
  • The hidden value of colour temperature and CRI (Colour Rendering Index)
  • Designing for residential, hospitality, retail, and exhibition spaces
  • The principles of lighting that shift a space from standard to considered

Who Should Attend

  • Interior design students who want to go beyond surface-level styling
  • Architects interested in integrating professional lighting strategy
  • Design learners curious about one of the most powerful tools in spatial design

You don’t need to be a specialist. Just come ready to look at space with a new lens—one that filters every surface and shape through light.

What You'll Take Away

  • A solid grasp of foundational lighting principles
  • An understanding of how to apply them across different project types
  • A clearer, more confident eye for crafting atmosphere
  • A Certificate of Participation from Cindrebay Dubai
