According To Regina Santos, Associate – Lighting Designer At Godwin Austen Johnson.
The year ahead for lighting design is one of contrasts. We are starting to see a lot of projects focusing on minimalist, while others boast a more industrial character. Both residential and commercial spaces are using a lot of decorative pieces such as pendants and statement lamps to set the tone and create an atmosphere. Colour and tunable white light fixtures will feature heavily in new projects as will the growth of products on the market to support circadian health.
LOVE LEDS
The versatility of LEDs opens up a world of options for lighting designers. In the beginning LED manufacturers were trying to mimic the incandescent technology but now they are designing specifically around LED technology. This shift is giving us beautiful products that are both minimalistic and elaborate, yet highly functional.
While we are seeing a lot of demand for slimmer profiles, decorative fixtures are still popular, particularly in the interior design spaces, to create balance and contrast with the use of statement lighting pieces. It’s really all about balancing the lighting and the needs of the interior space with what you want to achieve.
