Lahai is the second studio album by English musician Sampha, released on 20 October 2023 through Young. For this era, Daphnée Lanternier created the visual and spatial language of Sampha’s live performances, designing every stage from his first intimate show at St John’s Church in Hackney, London, to his worldwide tour.

She shaped spaces that breathed: a circular stage tracing the rhythm of his voice, silver-foil landscapes that shimmered like water, and vast inflatable lights that rose and fell like gentle constellations.
