What the World's Best Designers Are Specifying Right Now
The world's design capital is speaking. Here's what it's saying about light.
Salone del Mobile — April 21, Milan
The biggest design moment of the year. Every serious studio is watching.
The warm interior has arrived
2026 is the year texture, warmth, and material depth replace cold minimalism. Lighting makes that shift real.
Hotel openings of the decade
Airelles Venice, Six Senses London, Bulgari Maldives. All built around lighting as the statement.
The Pieces Everyone Is Specifying
Unlacquered Brass
Patinas naturally. Gets better with age. Pairs with limewash and dark wood.
Blown & Fluted Glass
Ribbed surfaces, warm diffusion. Feels handmade, looks timeless.
Natural Fibers
Linen, rattan, rope woven into fixtures. Warmth and texture without weight.
Espresso brown
Replacing grey as the neutral of choice.
Olive green
Earthy, sophisticated, pairs with brass.
Burgundy
Rich, moody, confident.
Warm terracotta
Dusty, aged, still running strong.
XXII CARAT Club Villas
We developed a lighting scheme that reflects the project’s exclusivity and coastal elegance. Crystal chandeliers and refined pendant fixtures bring grandeur to the interiors, while warm ambient layers enhance comfort and intimacy.
Fairmont Heritage Place
We developed a lighting concept that enriches the room’s warm, residential character. Soft, diffused fixtures frame the bedside area, while elegant metallic accents introduce a touch of modern luxury.
The studios who define a decade don't find lighting last. They build around it.
