An Illuminated Space

Like a moth to a flame, we too are drawn to a well lit environment. Our homes are designed around where the sun rises and sets so we can get the most out of the sunlight in our living areas. However most of our days are spent in our offices and thus the same attention needs to be paid to lighting those spaces. We need to create the best possible balance of natural and artificial light sources so as not to determent our health or our work. The best light for an office space has an infusion of natural daylight through windows, combined with lighting fixtures. Natural daylight is important as it stimulates our natural body elements such as vitamin D which is necessary to create calcium and keep our bones strong. Natural lighting can also produce calming effects which is something vitally needed in a stressful office situation.

Office spaces also need artificial lighting often at desks to illuminate important work stations and create an easy environment to work in without being blinded by too harsh a light source. The Iris Design Studio's Iguazu lamp is an innovative solution to office lighting design. By incorporating a fluorescent circline the light it not only functional but is energy saving; this will help to cut down on unnecessary business costs. It provides a movable sense of light that is adjustable as the fluorescent ring can be touched and repositioned easily.

Another lighting fixture from the Iris Design Studio that incorporates a fluorescent light source is the Olinda wall lamp. When hung on a ceiling these lighting fixtures creating the illusion of a chandelier at a fraction of the cost. They can brighten up any office space also taking a simple room into a sunset cocktail function with vibrant hues of blue, purple or yellow. These colours can serve as mood lighting to enhance customer’s and employees emotional states. By using these unique lighting fixtures an office space can be lifted much like it is with a painting. These lights add a design element that is classy and functional without being boring and unexceptional. They create a great first impression to anyone you wish to do business with and it is an impression that lasts as one realizes the depth of their intriguing and clever designs.

Through good lighting one can insure that although their work may not always be enjoyable the space in which they do their work can be a space that is enjoyed. It can be a space that one feels comfortable and ready to perform well in while cutting down costs by using energy saving light sources.
