Abstract Lighting

Abstract Lighting28 Online

Think the unexpected, something completely removed from the norm. Shapes, lines, form and color can used in unusual ways to create something that does not reference any natural object – the end result are shapes and forms that you probably have not seen before. Don’t expect to see what you normally refer to as a lighting fixture. Abstract lighting breaks the rules.

Abstract art uses visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world

Abstract art, non-figurative art, non-objective art, and non-representational art are closely related terms.

Asian Styled Lighting

Asian Styled Lighting17 Online

The term ‘Asia’ covers both a massive area and multiple styles and periods, however in lighting it typically this refers to a simplicity of style; a quiet, restrained and sophisticated elegance with a peacefulness referred to by some as ‘Zen’.

Nature references are common in the forms, as is sometimes an asymmetry in design. ‘Oriental’ is a word that carries much political baggage today, but the rich colors of a traditional Manchu dragon or Willow pattern plate conjure images familiar to many.

Similarly, the soft beauty of the diffuse light emitted by a Japanese shoji screen is well known to all designers.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Modern Transitional Lighting

Modern Transitional Lighting11 Online

Transition style lives in two worlds, the contemporary and the traditional – at the same time. Often defined more by what you already own than by what you plan to buy, delivering the transitional style hinges on creating the mix. Two opposing styles can be mixed, but the overall effect is creating by the tying together of hues, textures and shapes throughout a space. If you didn’t purchase all of your home furnishings at the same time and in the same year the chances are you already live in a somewhat transitional space.

First, organic LED or ‘OLED’ - a new type of Light emitting diode source, a newly emerged cousin of the now ubiquitous LED.

Second, ‘human-centric lighting’ - a lighting fixture or system designed to work with humans and improve our health and wellbeing. It does so by leveraging innovative technology and control systems to vary both light level and hue in synchrony with the time of day and with our specific needs.
