If there’s one trade fair in the world of lighting that is an absolute must-visit, it is without a doubt Light+Building.

Amsterdam Light Festival – Amsterdam lights up

“When I see the lights of the Scheldt, my heart beats a little faster.” Bobbejaan Schoepen puts it quite nicely in his song from 1952. Enchanting lights dancing on watercourses, particularly on cold winter nights, do something to you. I was recently on the Seine in Paris in early December, sampling the lighting scene in the city, and a week later I let myself succumb to the enchanting sight of the lights on Amsterdam’s Amstel river. The ‘Amsterdam Light Festival’ was also organised in this Dutch city of canals. A must for those who love cosy lighting and art.
