The annual LightCo celebration transformed its Sydney showroom into a 1920s speakeasy for the night, and here’s what went on behind closed doors.
March 20th, 2025
Stepping through the doors of the LightCo Sydney showroom – taking place during the first week of March – guests found themselves transported to a world of jazz-age revelry. For one evening, the space shed its contemporary guise and embraced the clandestine glamour of a 1920s speakeasy for the revered brand’s annual event.

The sultry strains of Pia Anderson’s Jazz Trio set the tone, while the Swing Katz ignited the dancefloor with an ebullient energy. Tucked away, a backroom roulette table drew a steady crowd, evoking the intrigue of Prohibition-era haunts –where the spirit of generosity prevailed, with LightCo pledging the profits earned on the roulette table as donations to OzHarvest and Lifeline — organisations dedicated to nourishing and supporting the community.
The annual gathering served as a moment of reflection and appreciation, bringing together clients, collaborators and friends in a setting that shines a light on the community and brand itself.
