How is lighting design different than other interior design elements?
I view it not necessarily as different, but more as another layer to a well-designed space. Lighting makes a room’s elements come alive at night. We are drawn to light in a very primitive, ancient way. Light, when used correctly, creates an instant level of comfort. When thinking about lighting any given space there are three things to be illuminated: art, architecture and people. I always start by lighting the people first.
