This review is from: Creative Lighting: Custom and Decorative Luminaires (Paperback)

This is a great idea & source book for anyone involved in commercial design. Creative lighting solutions from a variety of applications are presented, showcasing both the decorative fixtures and technical lighting considerations.

There are 35 case studies, each with 2-4 pages of outstanding photos and descriptions of the lighting systems used. These are broken into categories including restaurants, entertainment spaces, public spaces and shopping areas.

Most examples employ one of a kind custom designed lighting elements. How these were conceived & integrated into the overall design is described. Many beautiful fixtures, unique in form and function, are shown in the detailed photos.

Finally some spectacular designs in lamps, wall & ceiling fixtures using varied and unusual materials are shown. Contact info. is provided for the architects, designers, manufacturers and photographers featured in the book.
