Snøhetta has been reinventing itself for over 30 years, continuously challenging established norms and advancing sustainably driven designs that foster human connections, knowledge sharing, and cultural experiences. Social and environmental sustainability is a prerequisite for innovation. Lighting, both natural and designed, is an essential aspect of sustainable design that has the power to enhance our well-being and reduce our carbon footprint.
