“darc magazine demonstrates again and again the relevance of having a magazine entirely dedicated to the world of lighting. Its quality of editing and writing has always made the creations of d’Armes shine. And, it is refreshing to be able to take our eyes off the screen and immerse ourselves in a printed publication.”
