Design Is The Commercial Art of Our Times

Times are changing with regards to art and wealth. Previously paintings and portraiture where sort after and the wealthy lay claim to the best paintings and hired the great artists to paint their portraits for their family estate’s halls. However in this day and age design has become the sort-after art. Nowadays the wealthy have the greatest gadgets and sleekest cars. The modern world is one obsessed with technology and design plays a big part in this.

An object with a unique and eye-catching design is considered art and what is better is that design filters down into all markets allowing people in every class to grab a piece of this art. Design has become the commercial art of our times and it is evident in everyday objects to furniture, cars and even cell phones. The great thing with design is that pieces such as a great chandelier not only look decorative but they have a functional use in the home as well.

To get a piece of modern commercial art consider investing in a well designed object, like the range of lighting fixtures at the Iris Design Studio. High-quality functional lamps will not only brighten your home but they can add glamour and ambience to your home. A stunning fixture like the Islas Galapagos chandeliercan add colour and a sense of life to an otherwise dull room while a well-designed partition like the Mitad Del Mundo partition functions as a dividing panel while adding an interesting design element to a bedroom.

The Iguazu lighting system not only creates a spectacular neon effect with its circular shape but its design allows it to be interactive allowing you to move the light as required as it is cool to the touch. This creative design just shows that when one puts in a little thought you can create something that solves a myriad of problems while at the same time keeping on top of current trends when its comes to lighting design.

Investing in the great products found at the Iris Design Studio will not only brighten your home but can also help to save the environment. The lighting designs of the Salvador lighting range at the Iris Design Studio incorporate energy saving LED lights that are not only more durable and reliable that a standard incandescent light bulb but they create a stunning rainbow effect that is indeed art in itself.

As every person has their own tastes and opinions especially when it comes to art and thus design why not consider investing in a piece that allows you the freedom to make your own creative choices. The San Pedro lamps found at the Iris Design Studio allow you to interchange the bulb with a coloured one creating interesting effects with the mere placement of a red or green bulb.
