Light box


Above are kinds of box lighting fitting’s examples. I’m trying to give you illustration what we can do with the box if u wanna use it as a different-look for your creativity.

On picture no.1 are the standing lamps which have a simple design but they have ability to adding warm atmospheres in your room. Such as for guest room, family room, home office or restaurant.

Picture no.2, on this case, the benefits of this fitting is depends on your needs. It may become a fresh-look table at the café, a table lamp, wall lamp, or even a hanging lamp. Anyway you wanna try; I think the best condition is to make it as a point in your room. It has an ice-look, so it’s applicable if you wanna makes your room more fresh, cozy and different by others.

Picture no.3, it is show us that the reflection also gives us choices for making a different scene of lighting effect.

Picture no.4, it’s an interior design from a café. As we can see, the ambience of the room is so comfortable, cozy and so alive. I think the designer was trying to make a very simple design, with replace ‘the light box’ in different size on the wall and combine it with the strike lines. Heres, a light box chairs also adding unusual atmosphere.

Why we need light but also the darkness…?

Without light, there’s nothing. So dramatic, is it…?
Without light, there are no plants and therefore animals…
Without light, our world lacks shape and form and colour…
Through the vision and technical skills of modern architects our homes have been opened up to the pleasures of natural light, and for the first time in history we’ve had on-tap, artificial electric light which has extended our days and irrevocably changed the way in which we live.

While it is an absolute fact, that why we need light, I also suggest that we need darkness. If we combine between light and darkness, it will be creating the dramatically effect trough the shadow when light hit an object. Darkness adds modulation, contrast, subtlety, excitement, restfulness, and mystery.

Light and dark are not only physical entities, they also have powerful cultural associations, but both throughout the world in the past and present.
Heres, I try to explain the benefit of lighting for architectural product.
