UK - A new partnership has been announced by lighting designers Ross Chapple and Nick Jevons. Auratecture brings together the combined creative talent of these two lighting and production designers to offer a “design house” with a bold artistic vision for clients seeking “dynamic, unique, and innovative lighting and stage concepts”.
“We have a historical friendship stretching back over a decade, during which time we have admired each other’s creativity and work ethos. Our individual artistic visions are contrasting yet complementary, and we felt the time was right to bring our thinking, skills and resources together to build something really special – a design partnership where our creativity could nurture exciting new collaborations,” explains Jevons.
“Nick and I are both musically driven people,” expands Chapple. “Creating impact to complement the musical foundation and the artist’s own vision is where we are focused. We want to help our clients draw their music out visually through the designs we create for them, and for those designs to represent the artist in a truthful way.”
And what about the company name? “Our company name reflects entirely our guiding principles of creating lighting design for impact and producing the right ‘aura’ for our clients,” says Chapple. “But we do this from a very architectural perspective whilst being entirely relevant to the musical style. Shape, form and architecture are the backbone of our designs, helping to create a narrative for our clients and their music.”
Jevons concludes: “Our drive and passion for lighting design is all-consuming and we can’t wait to see what our new partnership will create and who we will collaborate with, from an artist perspective, as well as production companies and manufacturers.”
