For the first time in its history, Light Asia leaves Asia. The 2026 edition arrives at one of the world's most extraordinary sites — the Archaeological Park of Pompeii.
Light Asia is Asia's leading platform for lighting design, architecture, and academic research — an intensive forum that brings together international designers, professors, and students. The Archaeological Park of Pompeii — a UNESCO World Heritage Site shaped by light for two millennia — becomes the setting for a dialogue about light, history, and human experience. For KKDC, bringing Light Asia to Italy, the country that has shaped our design identity most, feels like a conversation long overdue.
Light Asia 2019 — Shanghai, China. Lighting installation by Metis Lighting at Tongji University.
Light Asia was founded by KKDC as a Non-Profit Body Corporate — a platform for the global lighting design community built entirely on the altruistic gift of knowledge and time. No commercial agenda. Built entirely on voluntary participation.
