This is a lighting design for the FUMI gallery. The concept was drawn from the principles of reflection with an idea to create specular light bulb reflections through the use of glass. While there is actually only one incandescent light bulb luminous inside the glass box, the reflection appears to be tens or even hundreds (depending on the observing angle) creating an image of a chandelier. The traditional Edison’s light bulbs are perhaps gradually becoming less practical for our current global conditions with the energy issues and pollution problems. However, the use of incandescent light bulbs is still attractive for some people for its warm, natural luminous ambience. Therefore, this design is a compromise for both matters.
