These are lighting studies of three typical space types, not client case studies: a real project is measured, modelled and reviewed again. What we deliver is not a lamp list but light that can be tuned, maintained and extended.
Private home · living room and reading corner · Shanghai
The central pendant is removed. The arc lamp provides close light between sofa and page; the track only grazes the limewash wall, leaving the ceiling dark. After sunset the room keeps its depth.
Restaurant · private room and long table · Dubai
Three amber pendants drop to 750mm above the long table so light covers the tabletop only; the surrounding room keeps adjustable low ambient light. Seated guests never see a source, yet the room feels bright when they stand.
Showroom · changing display · Shanghai
Two 50mm magnetic tracks run along the display walls so heads follow the objects. Wallwash heads use offset distribution to lift the wall, keeping textile and stone texture legible at low illuminance.
“We do not add lamps to a room. We keep dusk indoors for one hour longer.”
