Conversations: Icrave, NYC

Hailing from the Netherlands, known for its short days, Renée Joosten has an innate appreciation for effective lighting. “It’s very much my heritage,” she says.

As the lighting design director at Icrave, an internationally renowned New York City-based design studio, Joosten is witness to the myriad ways lighting creates mood and atmosphere.

And being headquartered in the heart of Manhattan, the city that never sleeps, means a steady source of inspiration and opportunity for creative illumination.
