• Unboring Projects: LightForm’s New Vancouver Showroom by Little Giant Studio

    The best collaborations rarely start with a project brief. Sometimes seedlings of ideas sprout years earlier through conversations, co-creating and working together, shared values, and mutual respect between people who have spent decades shaping the same industry. That was the exact foundation that led to LightForm’s Vancouver showroom. Created in close collaboration with LightForm founder Richard Assaly, the Vancouver showroom was designed by Little Giant Studio, an architecture and interiors practice known for thoughtful, experience-driven spaces. It grew from a long-standing relationship between two teams that have evolved alongside one another as friends, collaborators, industry colleagues, and each other’s trusted clients.
