At a|CREATE, every event begins with a vision – a mood, a feeling, a story waiting to unfold. Over the years, our passion for creating immersive experiences has evolved beyond décor, florals, and styling. We’ve always believed that an event should not only be seen, but felt.

That realisation inspired a|CREATE Augmented, a division dedicated to transforming space through light. Augmented isn’t about hiring lamps; it’s about setting the scene that shape how people feel in a space. Every beam, tone, and shadow is designed to complement our furniture and décor. Together, they create scenes that draw guests in and make moments memorable.

Say hello to a|CREATE Augmented – setting the scene through light.

At Augmented, every detail is designed with purpose. Through careful engineering and creative design, we turn practical solutions into beautiful experiences.

1. Freedom from Power Constraints – our battery-first systems run 8-14 hours, ensuring light lasts as long as the celebration. As a result, ambiance remains uninterrupted and effortless.
2. Portability with Purpose – because our fixtures need no cables, setup is faster and safer. This means cleaner spaces and complete creative freedom.
3. Design Integrity – each fixture is built for styled environments, not makeshift setups. Therefore, every light flatters décor, guests, and atmosphere with cinematic warmth.
4. Creative Control – a single, unified system allows synchronised moods and effortless scaling. Whether for an intimate dinner or a grand gala, control stays simple.
5. Reliability Under Pressure – every product is event-proof, built to perform through long nights and load-shedding challenges. So, the light always stays on.

Each element has been tested, refined, and perfected to deliver lighting without limits – ambiance that adapts to imagination.

In recent months, a|CREATE Augmented has had the opportunity to work alongside a|CREATE on several events. Through these collaborations, we’ve explored how light can deepen mood, enhancing styling, and elevate every detail. Each project has allowed us to refine our craft and showcase the power of thoughtful illumination.

View our latest project below to see how Augmented works with a|CREATE to transform ideas into light-filled experiences.

Styled Shoot | Laurent Lounge Venue

The Laurent Lounge shoot showcased a fusion of Organic, Opulent, Afro-Centric, and Scandi influences. Each theme added its own texture and tone, blending natural warmth with modern refinement.

Through thoughtful lighting, a|CREATE Augmented brought these elements together seamlessly. Soft, warm floods highlighted organic shapes, while precise accents enhanced metallic and sculptural features. As a result, every detail felt intentional and alive.

In addition, gentle shadows and balanced glows added depth without overpowering the styling. The final look felt grounded, elegant, and complete.

Ultimately, Augmented turned lighting into part of the design itself – expressive, atmospheric, and beautifully in sync with a|CREATE’s vision.

Corporate Fashion Show | Zeitz MOCAA Ocular Lounge & Events Space

Hosted at the Ocular Lounge & Events Space in the Zeitz MOCAA, this event celebrated women through elegance, fashion, and refined design. The theme drew inspiration from a blue delft palette, softened with white accents and natural greenery. Together, these tones created a calm yet luxurious setting.

Through thoughtful lighting, a|CREATE Augmented helped shape the mood of the evening. Soft LED table lights created a statement in the dining area and added depth and warmth to the setting. Statement lighting pieces was added throughout the space to elevate the overall look and feel and ambience of the event.

The scene was moody and subtle, but made a statement for this all female fashion show event at the beautiful Zeitz MOCAA Ocular Lounge and Events Space.

Styled Shoot | Stellar Events Space

A new venue on Zevenwacht Wine Estate, Stellar Event Space, was beautifully captured in this unique styled shoot. The setting combined sunset scenes, distinctive architecture, and breathtaking views into one cohesive experience.

The a|CREATE Augmented team styled each area with a blend of furniture, décor, florals, and lighting. This approach not only highlighted the latest 2025 trends for the upcoming wedding season but also showcased Augmented’s new lighting designs in a fresh and creative way.

From African Chic themes with woven lighting to soft, romantic linen and floral compositions, each space told its own story. Moreover, every detail was illuminated intentionally, casting a warm, enchanting glow that enhanced both the décor and the atmosphere.
