EMBRACE A NEW ERA OF LIGHTING AND SHADING

Lighting Design

Creating a stunning home encompasses more than selecting the perfect furniture and color schemes; lighting is crucial. It should accentuate architectural details, highlight premium furniture, and make colors pop. Beyond aesthetics, lighting enhances your daily life, uplifting your mood and aiding in various tasks. Engaging a professional ensures your lighting design and control are optimized for a luxurious living experience.

Why hire a lighting designer?

Opting for an independent lighting designer might seem unconventional, especially if you've previously relied on electrical engineers and interior designers. However, relegating lighting to a secondary role results in it becoming an afterthought. A lighting designer combines technical, scientific, and artistic skills to provide tailored solutions, ensuring lighting is a central element of your home.

LAYERS OF LIGHT: A NECESSITY

Ambient Light
Sets the overall mood with soft lighting from natural sources, ceiling lights, or pendants.
Task Lighting
Provides focused illumination for specific activities through pendants, desk lamps, or under-cabinet lighting.
Accent Lighting
Highlights artwork and architectural details, requiring lighting three times brighter than ambient fixtures.
  • Daytime

    As you step into your workspace, you'll be welcomed by bright, white-blue ambient lighting and focused desk illumination, creating an environment that fosters concentration and efficiency.

  • Bedtime

    Ease into a peaceful night's sleep with the "Bedtime" lighting scenario, accessible from a remote or tablet by your bedside. This setting gradually lowers the light intensity and shifts to a warm, orange tint, creating a tranquil atmosphere that promotes relaxation and rest.

  • Entertaining

    Host unforgettable gatherings with the "Party" lighting scene, illuminating your kitchen and living area with a vibrant white-blue glow that keeps the energy high all night long.
