Sabine De Schutter

Sabine De Schutter is an independent lighting designer and educator, and founder of Studio

De Schutter. Belgian-born and based in Berlin and Antwerp, she works internationally at the

intersection of atmosphere, functionality, and sustainability, with a strong focus on circular

design strategies in the built environment.

Her portfolio spans hospitality, workplace, and cultural projects, where she develops lighting

concepts that are both materially conscious and experientially rich. Her approach challenges

conventional specification practices by integrating reuse, adaptability, and lifecycle thinking

into the design process.

Sabine is Women in Lighting Ambassador for Germany and an active voice in the discourse on

sustainable lighting design. Her TEDx talk on circularity in the building industry contributes to

the broader conversation on how design can actively shape more responsible futures
