Lena Lighting and illu partner with the 16th Architecture Weekend in Gdynia and the ARCHIFOTO MARATHON
Lena Lighting and illu are joining the 16th Architecture Weekend in Gdynia, which from 27 to 30 August will bring together architecture, design and photography. Our brands are also the Main Partner of the ARCHIFOTO MARATHON “Gdynia in Focus”, an event preceding this year’s edition. The illu brand will be represented by Dorota Koziara, who designed the Messaggio lighting collection for us.
This year’s Architecture Weekend is held under the theme “IMAGINE”. The programme includes architectural walks, lectures, discussions, workshops and exhibitions dedicated to architecture, modernism and contemporary cities. The event will provide an opportunity for architects, designers, experts and everyone interested in how cities are evolving and the role that well-designed spaces play within them.
A special guest of illu will be Dorota Koziara, one of Poland’s most acclaimed designers, who has been present on the international design scene for many years. Selected luminaires from the Messaggio collection she designed will also be showcased during the event. Her presence will provide an opportunity to discuss the relationship between light, design and architecture, as well as the role of design in shaping spaces.
Gdynia in focus for the city's centenary

The competition forms part of Gdynia's centenary celebrations and encourages participants to discover the city's architecture through photography by capturing distinctive details, forms and unexpected perspectives.
