Lighting seems to be a relatively simple problem to solve; if a corner is dark, you add a lamp, right? There’s actually a lot more to it than that. Different spaces require different types of light fixtures, and different needs demand different solutions. Lucy will teach us about different types of light, bulbs, and light fixtures; lighting for function, decoration, ambiance, and safety; the effect of light on colour; how to choose light fixtures to save energy; and designing with lighting in mind.

Join us on June 9, 2011 at Urban Mode at 7:00pm for the finale of our 2010/2011 Design Talks series (don’t worry, we’ll be back in September with more great speakers and design topics)!
