Competencies
Light is intangible, and yet it is a powerful tool with great design possibilities. Light creates perfect accents, draws contours, and shapes the unique character of a room, a building, an outdoor space. Light connects the individual elements of architecture and surroundings into a complete work of art. Light is pure energy and breathes life into every structure.
I am a lighting designer with heart and soul, and I bring out the beauty of architecture. With my skillful language of light, I set the right focus for the perfect lighting atmosphere. Successful lighting design requires absolute expertise. I combine passion with experience and technical know-how with creativity. “Less is more” – that is my credo.

I became aware of the collaboration through my husband. Over the past twelve years, we have completed three planning phases together. Andreas Kistner is truly exceptional to me: passionate, reliable, creative, and absolutely trustworthy. The added value is especially evident in the harmonious, atmospheric lighting of our Hotel Die Halde as well as in the Bruggaa restaurant. Coordination with all trades went smoothly, and the Casambi control system is excellently implemented. Everything was carried out exactly as agreed. An unreserved recommendation.

Our architect brought Andreas Kistner to my attention. His designs convinced me immediately. The support throughout the entire project was consistently positive, and all commitments were fully delivered. The lighting design highlights spaces with purpose and tells a clear design story, including cohesive color concepts. I am very happy to recommend AK Lichtdesign.

We found AK through Google and were initially unsure whether our home was suitable for it. But from the very first appointment, it became clear how precisely and sensitively Andreas Kistner perceives spaces. The planning and support were outstanding, with palpable passion and openness. Even after two years, the result still delights us anew every day. A clear recommendation without any reservations.

The AK Licht Design team perfectly understood our family’s needs and, in several steps, put together a concept that leaves nothing to be desired. Their support during implementation was proactive and solution-oriented. We are delighted and can recommend AK Licht Design without reservation.
