Light by Occhio – passion by You

Occhio presents Sebastian Steudtner

A man and the sea: Sebastian Steudtner lives for the challenge, the adrenaline – and the waves. The big wave surfer and world record holder for the highest wave ever surfed has created his personal hideaway in Portugal: a home overlooking the ocean, surrounded by nature and silence. A place of strength and inspiration that shines like a beacon in the evening – illuminated by Occhio.
"Light is life – it influences our mood like a character of its own. Warm, calm light brings calmness and atmosphere."

Source of strength

The modern villa serves as a calm counterbalance to Sebastian Steudtner’s wild place of longing. In the water, adventure and challenge await – and the constant need to adapt in the blink of an eye. All the more important is his private retreat, offering peace and recovery. Here, Sebastian Steudtner embraces the silence, nature, and the sound of the waves – bathed in light that offers him a sense of security and comfort.

Guided by light

For Sebastian Steudtner, light is more than just brightness – it provides orientation, both in the water and on land. At home, it helps him focus on the next big challenge. What matters most to him is an atmosphere that makes calm tangible and gives him the strength to face his next adventure with clarity. One key element: the arc luminaire Mito largo, which stretches over his interior like a protective arm.

In flow with the wave – in control of the light

At home, light becomes a source of regenerative energy for the ambitious athlete – a source that restores inner balance, enables focus, and provides new strength. Unlike on the water, Sebastian Steudtner has full control here: with a simple hand movement, a controller, or the Occhio air app, he intuitively adjusts the light. As if by magic, he dims the luminaires or changes the light color – from invigorating cool to soothing warm – precisely as the moment calls for.

Waiting for the next wave

Sebastian Steudtner's record stands at 28.57 meters. His goal: to become the first person to surf a wave over 40 meters high. The extreme athlete is known for facing the greatest challenges with courage – yet he makes no secret of the fact that the fear of drowning is always by his side.
