Daily lighting narrative at home

Tell a story of a day home with light

Since humans learned how to use fire, our lives have been carved by light: it could be the bonfire flickering in a tribe surrounded by people dancing, the fireplace flaming by grandma on rocking chair when outside snowing, or a lamp switched on waiting for someone on the way home in a concrete building. Not only night, but the whole history of human could not be recorded without light.

Light has been narrating our life throughout times and places, influencing and changing our mood, perception and emotion unconsciously. This time, we would like to tell a story of a day home with light, a narrative that lightings help to write. In language of light, to catch the shadows cast in different moments, write the scenarios with families, and create own home memories with lightings.

Turn on the task table lamp at need of eyes to ensure you kick off a day with plentiful and cheerful light.

Our bodies feel sluggish after lunch, it is about time to perch by a floor lamp for a while. Floor lamp is a versatile group of lighting adaptable to various scenarios: task floor lamp provides enough light for hardcore working and reading, while standing lamp gives ambience light to a corner, creating an art of light and shadow on the walls. It is your best lighting partner either for learning or playing.

When the sun goes down, who will be the first one home, hopping on the chair for enticing dinner?

Turn on the main lightings above dining table and dim the ambient light down, enhancing the contrast of light and shadow to create a sense of theater. On the stage, there becomes a drama series of family plays with laughs everyday.

Outside of the window, is the sleepless town. Carry a lamp with you and keep chasing your dreams. A utility table lamp will accompany you to concentrate yet avoid the glares to eyes in a dark background. Hold the last hour, you’ll get there!
