Raluca Dascalita is a Senior Lighting Designer based in London, working alongside Delta Lighting Design on large scale masterplans, public realm and hospitality projects worldwide.

Originally trained as an architect and with more than 10 years’ experience in the field, Raluca steered towards lighting design in 2016, following her increasing interest in the nocturnal aspect of the built environment.

Her approach to lighting design comes from a humanistic perspective, where light is seen as a catalyst for social interaction, individual wellbeing, and a consistent feeling of safety within public spaces. Her designs explore ways of integrating lighting within the greater concept of a ‘smart city’ that responds to human needs, all while minimising its harmful side effects, like light pollution.
