Hallway. To create warmth

A hall is a kind of boundary between the noisy bustle of the street with one hand and the comfort of home warmth – on the other. In the hall the guests get a first impression of the house and its inhabitants. It is therefore essential to create an atmosphere that will be appreciated by those who is coming in. Rightly selected lighting can help you in this by emphasizing the advantages of the space or by hiding its flaws.

The lack of the day light in the hallway is one of its feature. Thus, regardless of time of a day, entrance requires artificial light. The way and intensity of lighting should be selected taking in consideration the features of your hallway.

Flaws of the space can be hidden by not very bright, but elegant light. Nonetheless, the light should not be too dull; it is negatively affects the psychological comfort. The best option in this case is the diffused light. The positive effect is achieved either through opaque tubes, either by aiming ceiling lamps at the ceiling: the space will be illuminated by the light reflected from the ceiling, sharply defined shadows will vanish.

Hallway. To create warmth

If you have a narrow hallway with high ceiling it’s better to highlight the walls by wall-lamps. The ceiling will remain in the “shadow” and cease to affect the perception of space.

If you have normal ceiling height or below the desired you need to illuminate it. You can arrange a special ledge around the perimeter of the hall near the ceiling, which consolidate a number of pointed lights.

A vestibule of geometrically complex shapes, in the form of a polygon, for example, would be appropriate to divide into the light zones. Illuminated from different angles and by different sources of light curves and crannies become interesting decorative islands on the way into the depth of living space.

In general, it makes sense to equip a hallway with additional local lighting. Thus, special attention should be paid to highlighting the mirror. The flow of light must not create shadows on the figure and face of a man who is standing in front of a mirror. You should either install the lights on the two edges of the mirror, or one – in the center above it.

In the hallway you can install sensors that react to movement. But only in the absence of domestic animals, which can make your hallway to flash every five minutes.

Big Chandelier Quadrimensione By Italamp

Such factory as Italamp has been based in 1975 by Matteo Vitadello with a help of small group of the workers who were enhanced by the idea which had enough passion and spirit to enter the market of lamps with traditional and very original lamps. Developing systematically Italamp became the whole industry in which each team works with a certain problem. The point of the focus of the whole system is a birth of the new ideas that are capable to enrich tradition.

Today the brand Italamp is known not only across Italy and Europe, but also on other continents, in other words worldwide. The style by Italamp became the expression of past and present, a point of merging of great traditions and creative innovations.

Italamp is known all over the world for original ideas in the field of lamp production. And among all ideas by Italamp the special place is occupied with the collection Touchdesign – the highest point of creativity that concerns lamps. The most interesting Italian designers were involved in the production of lamps. It is clear that some lamps from this collection are in some way very uncomfortable from the point of view of inclusion into an interior. All of them were created not for mass use but to be the centre of unique compositions.

The big chandelier Quadrimensione from the collection Touchdesign by Italamp is as though on a border place in the collection Touchdesign and the usual catalogues by factory. This lamp is in some way clearer than its ‘colleagues’ from the collection, but thus, certainly, it is really unique and original. You will never find a chandelier that will have four huge mirrors that force light to be repeatedly split. Two groups of small horns of a chandelier have light lampshades and two – red. As a result, having passed some steps along a chandelier, you will suddenly walk from infinity of white tones into a kingdom of red glamour.

Small horns and the bottom part of a chandelier are made from murano glass, and for the suspension brackets elite black crystals Strass by Swarowski are used.

In 2006 the lighting factory Lumen Center Italia has celebrated the thirtieth anniversary, symbolically having noted the data by the opening of new “house”.

From the very beginning the factory focused its special attention at the design of lamps. The factory has been based in 1976 in France, and in 1987 it was moved to Milan.

In 2000 the factory has passed under the company Villa Tosca Design Management, and within three decades the confident identification of the brand Lumen Center Italia has been reached as a result of persistent working out and manufacturing in the market of interior lighting design.

The factory Lumen Center Italia has entered into the 21st century with a huge charge of energy that will be realized in the development of production and the achievement of superiority in the lighting business. The new building where all production and all commercial activity is concentrated, embodies all the principles of the brand Lumen Center Italia. Its pink gardens and water gardens, wide windows, spacious premises, and the location in the strategically important area. All this transfers the basic concept that is put into each lamp by the factory. The concept is in the design thinking that is directed to the future, the strong roots of national traditions, high sensitivity to an aesthetic components.

Lumen Center Italia is not going to become one of the manufacturer-giants that are daily stamping millions of units of the same production, it will always be more a laboratory that is in continuous search of the superiority at the level of ideas and realization. The lighting factory is more a laboratory where designers, architects, engineers, technicians and masters of manual craft unite for creation and development of the lamps that are born by heart and imagination, but realized with the obligatory account of the reasons of functionality.

To my mind the best series of lamps that are produced by Lumen Center Italia is CORAL. The last CORAL collection by the factory was enriched with one more model precious and refined: SUPER CORAL 40L. The decor of the lamp is made from mosaic gold that adds to it even more luxury and greatness.
