Ethereal, scenographic, essential or rigorous, the latest innovations play around the dining area with enveloping effects and unexpected volumes. To design infinite scenarios of conviviality.
The light in the dining area must not be dazzling, but not too soft either: what is needed for the atmosphere to be comfortable and relaxed to the right degree is warm lighting which, however, allows the different diners to see each other well. This is why it is essential to choose a lamp that is also in harmony with the shape and size of the table, without necessarily limiting yourself to the classic central chandelier.
In addition to traditional pendant lamps, in fact, there are also various wall or floor models that experiment with new forms of light and transform lunches and dinners into enveloping representations. For elegant intimacy, which will make guests feel pleasantly at home.
