Just recently a prominent London visual artist asked me to collaborate with her on a new lighting installation for an exhibition. She was in need of a real expert from the London Interior Design community to help her develop exactly the artistic and expressive look she needed.
I explained to her that there are many different types of illumination system commonly used by interior design boutiques. Low-voltage bulbs are particularly popular. These are best when the interior design team needs a more subtle effect, as in feature lighting for example. Some task lights also use low-voltage illumination. Fluorescent tube lights, by contrast, are perfect when an interior design consultant needs a smooth, uniform light - fluorescents are perfect in uplighters or as a wave of light moving over an entire wall.
The London visual artist and I brainstormed a bit and eventually I was able to use my interior design expertise to collaboratively create a concept for her that perfectly met her needs. Thanks to lighting and interior design, her installation was a huge success. Yet another example of how interior design and visual arts collide to great effect in London!
