Get it? FOCUS?

In lighting design, the focus is the key process where the installed light fixtures are perfectly arranged and appointed to complete the vision of a project. This is the phase where final lamps are installed in the decorative fittings, adjustable lights are aimed on artwork, feature elements and furniture groupings, lighting levels are programmed, and the final scenes are set (if we are lucky).

Imagine designing a project and after several months, and sometimes years, you finally see your vision in situ, installed, and illuminated. Now imagine some of the lamping is wrong, accessories are missing, fixtures are aimed haphazardly, or have been moved or eliminated without your knowledge. It happens. And when it does, we can’t wait to get on a ladder and fix it.

Following is a collection of photos of us on site, on ladders, and on a lot of caffeine over the past year. 2019 has been busy with almost 30 projects completed this year. We are humbled by the continued support of our clients and the consultants we work with, but most importantly by the dedication, enthusiasm and FOCUS of our team.

Happy holidays, happy new year, and thank you!

XOXO
