Put the light on what you want to see

Many of the downlights, which are often used in houses, only somehow illuminate the entire space, and do not deliver light to anything in particular.

Such a space has light on the floor of an empty passageway, or light hits an empty wall, and unexpectedly, there is no light where it is needed.

Aimless lights somehow brighten the space, but when you look up at the ceiling, a dazzling light sticks into your eyes, and when you look down, you can cast a shadow on your hand.

On the contrary, unnecessary light creates unnecessary shadows, and more light is needed to counteract that shadow, and there are more and more aimless unnecessary lights.

The role of lighting in space is greater than you think, between a painting seen in a glittering museum or a painting illuminated by a spotlight in a dark museum, which is more impressive.

The electricity (lighting) that we use casually on a daily basis can also change the impression of daily life by reviewing the way it is.

By shining the light on what you want to see, you can focus your gaze there, and at the same time, you can also erase unnecessary noise in the space.

The less unnecessary noise, the less you will focus on what you want to see more.

Then, small details that have not been seen before emerge, and they become the source of new awareness and curiosity.

In addition, at night, there is a way to use the lights that are unique to the night and how to enjoy the space.

In the evening, it is wrapped in orange, a blue hour with warmth and some sadness, and a gentle and warm light in the dark illuminated by the moonlit night.

I think it's nice to have lunch on the open terrace during the day, but dinner under the candlelight will surely make you have a special time.

If people only have the light of a candle, even those faint lights can be managed unexpectedly.

The comfort and scene there are unexpectedly born in such a place.

Today, we live a life that continues to be exposed to a large amount of information every day.

Technology has given us unprecedented convenience, but can we say that we have achieved greater happiness through it?

A small life away from a convenient and urban life, surrendering to nature, and spending a little with the power of civilization, enhances people's original sensitivity and brings the richness of the heart that makes you feel moved even by the slightest thing. .

The lights at night that shine on what you want to see and extinguish unnecessary noise teach us the essence of things, "What is happiness that people should pursue?"
