Anti-Symmetrical, a fresh look at modern lighting styles.
Pendant lighting and ceiling lighting with an offbeat dynamic are cutting quite the dash. If you are a fan of symmetry, look away now! The following lights are shining examples of when things are less predictable, offset and unexpected. This is Asymmetrical Lighting!
You have to agree this carefree approach looks at balance in a literal way. Your eye lingers a little longer, you evaluate the space around you rather than predict the space. Symmetry can take away the surprise of seeing the whole space.
Symmetry is so last decade darling! Not exactly, there is a place for symmetry but don’t neglect off-setting things as this can enliven rooms more than you may think. You’ll be prompting the viewer to look at the surroundings with a freshened perspective. If you’ve always gone for a balanced approach going off the beaten track can be difficult but always being symmetrical does sometimes restrict creativity, mix it up a little and have carefree moments in the dialogue of your designs.
Off-centre light fittings can help balance a room, almost signposting you to look beyond, threw or into the negative space around the light. More architectural and simplified shapes bring modernity, especially suiting minimally styled rooms. Black lights fashioned into graphical forms are great for connecting spaces, contrasting shapes in the same colourways keep the look both pared back yet interesting.
When choosing an off-set light go for those with finer lines, maybe those that incorporate led lights are best for a sleek contemporary interior. Mix shapes or create an order from random connecting intersecting shapes.
