About Delim Fotoc

Delim Fotoc was founded in Munich in 2014 by Stefan Delimann and Claudia Fotopoulos, two lighting designers who met while working on the renovation of the Lenbachhaus museum. What began as a shared passion for how light reveals texture and volume has grown into one of Bavaria's most trusted independent lighting studios.

Our Leopoldstraße studio sits in the heart of Schwabing, surrounded by the same cafés and galleries that inspire our work daily. We believe lighting is not decoration — it is the invisible architecture that determines mood, productivity, and comfort in every room you inhabit.

Our Philosophy

We design in three layers: ambient light for overall illumination, task light for reading and working, and accent light to highlight art, shelving, or architectural features. This approach, rooted in the Kruithof curve and circadian research, ensures spaces feel natural at every hour.

We never specify fixtures we would not install in our own homes. Every product on our approved list has been tested in our studio showroom under real dimming conditions, and we maintain direct relationships with manufacturers for warranty support.
