Pitaya

Pitaya is a creative studio based in the Lyon area, specialising in imagining, designing and telling stories through light, which resonate with the spaces they inhabit. From the outset, the Pitaya team has seen themselves as both authors and experimenters, exploring the possibilities of light and illumination. David Lesort and Arnaud Giroud are the studio's founders, designers and experts. They enjoy working in public spaces, and their creative process is constantly evolving, becoming ever more dynamic and original. In 2006, Pitaya created its first installation of around thirty chandeliers in the heart of Lyon – a springboard for them and a cherished memory of the Festival of Lights.
