Portrait of Karsten Krause

Profile · Lighting designer since 1997

Karsten Krause

Lighting design for exhibitions, theatre, events and architecture – with a theatre eye and the care of thorough planning.

“In the theatre you learn that light does not just illuminate – it tells a story.”

After years on major stages, Karsten Krause set up on his own in 1997. With lightview he develops lighting concepts for museums, stages, events and buildings – from the first sketch to commissioning.

What you see first, what stays in the shadow, how a space feels: that perspective shapes every project.
