Helping places find their glow
We don’t just work with light, we understand it. Lighting has the power of creating visually stunning spaces and we use our expertise to transform a project and to generate emotions
Bringing Architecture to Light
We are the first creative independent lighting design studio in Bucharest. Glow Design studio’s vision is to bring life through lighting to places in which we live, learn, work and play.
Whether working in collaboration with interior designers and architects or directly with our clients, we create imaginative, inspiring designs. We specialise in providing interior & exterior architectural lighting design schemes for hospitality, residential, commercial and retail projects.
Ruxandra Miftodi is Glow’s founder. After a 10 year experience in London where she studied and worked as a lighting designer, she combines creativity and technical expertise to provide custom lighting design for each project.

Detailed Technical Design
We create a comprehensive package comprising lighting layouts, calculations, and technical specifications for the proposed luminaires. For specific projects, we also provide procurement process management services as needed.
