future of light
Our Swedish friends from FutureDesignDays recently organized Light Now, the latest stop in their travelling NOMAD show, which dealt with the future of light(ing design). Their recent newsletter features a chat with lighting designer Kajsa Sperling from Gothenburg’s White office. Kajsa relates the future of lighting design to the designer’s social and environmental responsibility …
“Kajsa tells us that the light pollution in the world is an important reason for her commitment to lighting design. Light consumes brutal masses of energy. Kajsa is convinced that a new way of looking at lighting will be a significant part of the environmental work. We must dare to eliminate light, instead of adding more and more, in other words: less light and more focus on the lights we choose to keep. Lighting design is likely to be a very important part of building projects or urban space planning in the future. If it’s up to Kajsa to decide, every municipality ought to have their own lighting designer.”
