Cariitti – light makes the space
We use a lot of time and money for a comfortable home. The most important detail and atmosphere creater is light but often too little attention is paid to it. However, the other interior elements like colours, shapes and materials would not even be visible without light.
Lighting means more than just equipping the room with light sources. Light emphasizes details, create experiences and shape shades and reflections. With a good reason you can say that light makes the space.
Get inspired by light
In a dark night you can see how light influences on our lives. The coldness and lack of light of the coming night suffocate the previously so flourishing life and also have an impact on each of us. In ancient times, before man harnessed the fire, the darkness was a threat of danger in shadows and made people creep to a shelter in the sunset. In the sunrise the increasing light wakes up all living creatures again to a new flourish. Light is an essential element to life, and not only a tool for seeing. It can also be food, vitamine and medicine – or wrongly dosed even poison.
Light influences not only on sense of sight but also on instincts, moods and physical activities through hormonal organ systems. Light can influence on atmosphere in a unique way. Warm candle light creates intimate atmosphere, whereas colourful festival lights make spectacular light shows and various experiences.
The modern lighting technology makes it possible to create versatile and dynamic lighting solutions in various places. The intensity and colour temperature of light can be changed.
By means of artificial lights we can create various effects imitating the nature, such as fire flames, northern lights, twinkling stars and therapeutic lighting.
