The right light...
Light changes everything. How swiftly we sleep. How cosy we feel. How intensely we’re able to work. And yet stronger isn’t always better when it comes to finding the right kind of light for our living spaces.
From the soft sheen of the bedroom to the bright glow of the office, every ambient has its idiosyncrasies — an idea that becomes increasingly important as we hurtle deeper into the digital.
The challenge for designers, then, is simple. To help connect us with a kinder light. One that soothes the senses. And restores the home’s standing as a serene sanctuary.
“We are born of light. The seasons are felt through light. We only know the world as it is evoked by light.”
Louis Kahn

The art of layering...
Interior designer Gavin Houghton once said that the more layers a room has, the calmer it becomes. The art of lighting can thus be understood as the ability to create pockets of luminosity — little lacunas of loveliness that envelop social activities as they unfold.
This could be achieved through a mix of table, floor and wall lighting. Or else beautiful modular styles like Michael Anastassiades’ STRING lights. Thanks to a series of imperceptible wall hooks, they allow design lovers to draw out beautiful overhead webs, from which dangle a selection of adjustable glass orbs.

Or a chance at the limelight?
Beautiful when off, even better on. This edit is dedicated to lights that make a statement. That inspire a curious look or glance. And own the space they inhabit.

Born to roam...
2022 is the year to be spontaneous. To say yes to life, friends, and alfresco adventures. And if there’s one thing you take with you, let it be a nifty little nomadic light. Some can be hung from the arms of trees like delicate pendants. Others promise 100 hours of rich, buttery light. All ask you to unplug. Go outside. And explore.
Northern lights...
Daylight takes on an almost sacred aspect in northerly climes. One of its many disciples was Poul Henningsen; a Danish architect who would spend hours tracing the trajectory of the sun just to observe its quality and luminance. In doing so, he sought to capture the golden hour — that beautiful time of day when the sun showers everything it touches in a rich and buttery light.
In 1927, his studies lead to the development of the three-shade system, a precise configuration that would allow for soft direct light as well as a distinct upward glow. This pyramid-style illumination would go on to become a founding principle of Scandinavian lighting, updating the ugly electric glare with something more subtle.
Today, they are known as the PH collection, a breathtaking series of over 30 lights created in partnership with LOUIS POULSEN.
