Meet Martin
The lighting nerd
And there was light! (Book of Moses 1:3)
Martin Holmberg
Lighting Designer, Buildings in Oslo
Martin is proud of what he does: “There are few people with a profession which is mentioned already at the beginning of Genesis, the First Book of Moses. That is in the First Book of Moses 1:3: ‘And there was light!’ I haven’t yet come across a part that says: ‘And there were acoustics!’ or ‘There were water and outlets!’ The waters came a bit later.”

INGENØRD [enɕəˈnɶɐ̯ˀd]: An honorary title for people who enjoy immersing themselves in professional or personal passions, a trait that can generate a never-ending train of thought or result in constant attempts to discover connections and solve problems – which often leads to heated conversations with other 'ingenørds'. Often, but not necessarily, they have a degree in engineering.
