Robe France Launches Robe Awards 2021 Event
France – Robe Lighting France delivered its first Robe Awards event, a new design, programming and operating competition which saw ten finalists whittled down from over 160 initial entrants to battle it out in person at Les Studios de la Montjoie in the La Plaine St Denis area near Paris where they utilised a full Robe lighting rig.
It all started just ahead of the pandemic and lockdowns, when a succession of conversations took place. The first ones were in fact over a year ago and between Sebastien Dendele, president of rental company MursDeLeds (MDL), and well-known TV lighting operator Yannick Duc who have been friends and colleagues for over a decade, both sharing a huge passion for lighting.
