AS WE HEAD into a new year, it’s all about the past for lighting trends. Vintage shapes, color palettes and patterned fabrics are making a comeback across new designs, reflecting the current obsession with reclamation and the classic sophistication of time-worn spaces.
Statement pieces are having their say, too, with larger-than-life pendants and chandeliers making focal points in retail and restaurants, and flush mounts phasing out the recessed lighting that’s had a hold on the market for years.
As mass production goes out of style, the focus is on artisan makers and product origins. Handmade, local pieces are prized and admired, making responsible choices for intimate environments. Lighting trends in 2022 are set to span eras – the stylish past to the sustainable future.
Litesphere RGBW is one for Instagrammable moments. Strand lighting for architectural applications, it offers intense saturation and reportedly more than 16 million combinations for unique color-flooded lighting. It’s suitable for use in eye-catching outdoor settings.
