Lighting Design丨Bringing Light into Darkness
When starting to design a home interior, people often have many ideas. Beyond interior style, furniture, and accessories, there is one crucial aspect that is frequently overlooked — lighting.
Yet houses, apartments, and offices offer far more possibilities for lighting design than just a single ceiling socket. Here, Occhio lighting expert Helen Neumann demonstrates how to achieve harmony between interior design and lighting concepts.
Let Natural Light Be the Guide
When choosing lighting, the sun can serve as the perfect reference. Sunlight is defined by strong contrasts, clear shadows, and brilliant reflections. On bright days, we feel energized, uplifted, and in good spirits.
In contrast, when the sky is gray and overcast, most people feel tired and drained. Diffuse, dull light lacks structure. If a room has the same type of lighting, our sense of well-being becomes directly tied to whether the day outside is sunny or cloudy.
That is why our living spaces should be illuminated with the highest quality of light, combining indirect sources with bright spotlights. It is equally important to understand the quality of light itself: solid-state light sources are measured in terms of color rendering, or CRI (Color Rendering Index).
Sunlight serves as the benchmark with a CRI of 100. Occhio luminaires use LEDs with a CRI of 97, delivering light quality very close to natural daylight — bringing ideal living conditions into your home.
Dare to Embrace Darkness
Where there is light, there is also darkness. A harmonious lighting design not only considers the use of light but also deliberately incorporates areas of shadow. Dynamic light becomes a guide for the eyes and for movement — it can invite you to sit in a chair, or draw your attention to a piece of art or an intriguing wall texture.
Creating Unique Spaces
The secret to outstanding lighting lies in combining indirect illumination with precise accent lighting. Even in everyday use, Occhio luminaires naturally create atmosphere: quiet dimness for intimate moments, or bright clarity for focused work.
Shaping Atmosphere with Light
Occhio luminaires allow you to adjust lighting flexibly to match your mood, the weather, the season, or special occasions. The simplest way is by combining multiple light sources in a room, controlled with just a gesture.
Today, Occhio makes it possible to adjust brightness or color temperature with ease — creating a unique environment for every activity and scene, whether it’s a romantic dinner for two or a productive workspace. All of this can be controlled effortlessly via the mobile app or controller.
