Company Overview
Luminaire is a London based creative production company, founded in 2017. We deliver bespoke, full service production for corporate and private events at venues across London and beyond, combining technical production (lighting, audio, video, power and rigging) with scenic design and build, all handled in house. That combination is what sets us apart, most companies in our space outsource one side or the other, we do both under one roof.
