The Sunset Room

This London Design Festival, Tala presents the Sunset Room, an immersive light installation and screening space inside our Shoreditch showroom, created to unveil Wake, a new light designed in collaboration with Thomas Heatherwick.

Blending film, sensory design, and wellness, the Sunset Room invites visitors to:

• Explore the relationship between light, health, and our mobile devices, reframing how we wind down and reclaim our evenings from screens.
• Engage in a calming, multi-sensory space of rituals designed to help you pause, reflect, and reimagine how light can shape healthier, more human living.
• Discover the story behind Wake and our partnership with Thomas Heatherwick Studio.

Shoreditch Design Triangle

Sunset Room is part of the Shoreditch Design Triangle, one of LDF’s most celebrated districts, featuring over 100 design-led events across East London.
