An architect's exploration of - light, matter, and space
Ar. Jeet Kothadiya is the founder of Advit Design Lab. His interest in light began through architecture, where he became drawn to the way light influences how we perceive and experience space.
This curiosity led him to explore light beyond illumination - as a medium for shaping atmosphere and transforming space. Through Advit Design Lab, he develops lighting objects and spatial installations that sit at the intersection of architecture, design, and light.
We spend much of our lives in spaces shaped by light. It influences how we perceive a room, how materials reveal themselves, how architecture feels, and the memories we form within a place.
At Advit Design Lab, we use light as a tool to shape objects, spaces and experiences. From crafted lighting fixtures to spatial installations, our work brings together natural materials, craftsmanship and sculptural design to create evocative forms of light.
We explore light beyond its functional role - using it to shape how we perceive and experience a space. Rather than a particular aesthetic, Advit Design Lab is defined by a way of looking.
Advit Philosophy
Light is more than illumination. We see light as a material in itself - one that can be shaped, composed and experienced.
Our approach begins with matter - Natural materials are never merely finishes or surfaces. They are an essential part of the design. Their grain, texture, weight, translucency and imperfections become part of the language of each piece.
Matter Takes Form
We explore sculptural and architectural forms that exist between object and artwork, between function and expression. Each form is conceived not only to be seen, but to interact with its surroundings.
Form Meets Light
Light reveals what matter holds within it. It traces contours, creates shadow, softens edges and gives form a sense of presence. Sometimes it illuminates; sometimes it disappears into the material.
Light Becomes Experience
A moment of stillness. A familiar memory. A sense of warmth. A feeling of wonder. A new way of seeing a space.
Light As An Experiential Tool
We believe good lighting changes more than what we see.
It changes how a space feels.
The intensity of a glow.
The direction of a shadow.
The warmth of a surface.
The rhythm of light across a wall.
These subtle moments can shape our perception of a place. Our ambition is to create lighting that participates in those moments - to create pieces that illuminate, inhabit and ultimately evoke.
Designed to Evoke
A memory. A mood. A sense of place. The quietness of nature. The warmth of material. The poetry of shadow and light.
