Unusual lighting to energise your interiors.
Artists often play with the way we see things. Exploring new ways of seeing ordinary objects. Are we getting bored of humdrum objects and humdrum homes? How many times can we view the same thing without reimagining it or repurposing it? Is surrealism the way forward to experiencing more exciting, surprising and curious spaces?
An alternative artistic concept is to experiment with how things are viewed and interpret them differently; we can do the same with lighting. There are lighting designers who also conceptualise different light fittings. Creating unique lighting solutions is what The Lighting Company loves and we enjoy keeping abreast with all that is new and predicting the latest lighting trends.
Surrealism was no doubt a highly influential art movement and we are seeing surrealism as an emerging interior trend. It is great for homes or hospitality venues where you want to play with your space. An element of surprise is key to this look.
Fantasy and reality become a blur and you could curate scenes which remind you of a dream, plays of context, where objects “should” usually be and turn this on its head.
The feeling you get when you see something surreal is almost amusing, in an arty way of course! Such as when an object seems out of the ordinary, or out of context, it draws you in and is memorable.
For interior design this means having fun creating juxtapositions where hyper-modern meets historic. It’s a sure way to help make your space as unique as you. What could you create that is original and unique to you?
Bespoke and customised light fittings or shades allow you to imagine things differently, whether this be extra large fittings or light bulbs? Or it could be creating a light you want in an unexpected colour; how about some purple antlers? It’s certainly a way to stand out from the crowd.
Wherever your imagination takes you, we can make it happen and do the work for you with our expert brand partners.
