Cyril Lamy, Creative Director
For Cyril Lamy, the line between the built environment and the imaginary world has always been permeable. His journey began not in a studio, but in a childhood filled with homemade dark rides, backyard stages, and a relentless desire to elicit astonishment from an audience. Today, as a French Creative Designer with over two decades of global experience, Cyril channels that same sense of wonder into professional Spatial Experience Design.
Cyril possesses a rare multidisciplinary fluency, sitting at the intersection of Architecture, Scenography, and Lighting Design. His formal training took him from the rigorous engineering of Delft University in the Netherlands and the heritage desert landscapes of India near Jaipur, to the grand architecture schools of Paris.
However, finding traditional architecture too constraining for his narrative ambitions, he pivoted to Scenography in Nantes, the capital of public live performances and festivals in France, mastering the art of emotion and storytelling alongside circus artists and visual pioneers.
This fusion of technical precision and theatrical soul led Cyril to Southeast Asia, where he co-founded ScenoLight Atelier. As Creative Director, he pioneered a new approach to lighting and scenography in the region, leading a team of 25, training over 70 local designers.
Studio’s Story
Born from a shared vision between French architect-scenographer Cyril Lamy and the entrepreneurial drive of Sebastian Sang Nguyen , ScenoLight Atelier is the story of a bold leap across continents. Leaving France with a singular ambition, they arrived in Vietnam determined to bridge the gap between European know-how and Southeast Asian dynamism in 2016. They didn’t just bring their expertise; they brought their passion for transformative design and a commitment to elevating the country’s skyline.
And today, what started as an experiment has evolved into an award-winning practice, offering multi-disciplinary services spanning all South-Est Asia region and beyond. From architecture to theater and immersive lighting, through over 180 projects for top hotel brands and entertainment venues, ScenoLight Atelier has spent a decade proving that design isn't just a utility, it’s the heartbeat of a narrative that can resonate with international visitors and local audience.
