I posted this image in my Instagram stories this week and had so much positive feedback I thought I would share it here.
⠀
So let’s talk about why it works!
⠀
Scale. When we play with scale as designers it is often an intentional way to create emphasis - particularly when the scale is large in proportion to other elements in the space.
⠀
Repetition. When you start to pay attention to the shapes, you will note that the curves in the light fixture thoughtfully connect to the curves in the architecture.
⠀
Texture. While the size of the fixture is large for emphasis, the texture is mindful of the other materials to create connection. It is natural and soft in colour. If this piece were smooth black metal it would feel altogether different. Not necessarily bad, but the mood of the space would shift.
⠀
So when your designer makes selections, the relationship of each selection is thoughtfully considered in relation to the next.
⠀
And THIS is one of the keys to successful design.
