Istituto Marangoni Riyadh welcomed Interior Designer and Lighting Design Specialist Mayar Younes for the May session of its monthly talk series, Tuesday at Istituto Marangoni

With a background in interior design and advanced lighting studies from Politecnico di Milano, Mayar offered a refined perspective on how lighting shapes the emotional and sensory experience within fashion and retail spaces. She introduced lighting as a design language and showed how it communicates identity, guides movement, and elevates the overall atmosphere of a store. 

Through curated examples, Mayar demonstrated how lighting can highlight products, frame focal points, and create immersive environments that resonate with customers on a deeper emotional level. She also explored how light contributes to storytelling, influencing how customers perceive and interact with a brand long before engaging with its products. 

The session provided attendees with a clear understanding of how thoughtful lighting design enhances the retail journey and strengthens the emotional connection between customers and the brand.
