Lighting, whether natural or artificial, is undoubtedly one of the main elements in architecture and interior design. Light has the power to make any environment alive and rich. Lighting also has the power to transform an environment according to its use, creating distinct scenes and effects. The choice of lamp is also as important as the lamp.
