My Featured Interview in Current Ljuskultur, Sweden

I'm honored to have my recent interview featured in Sweden's Ljuskultur magazine. In it, my views on lighting design are explored with writer Anders Modig. We discuss my perspective on everything from how I view darkness to the adoption of new lighting technologies. 

The interview is entirely in Swedish, but we have translated select excerpts on the AWA Lighting Designers blog.

Darkness has lots of merits, darkness and shadows can be very sexy. And without darkness you can not appreciate light. I love darkness, I love light. Without each other, they do not exist, they are yin and yang.

Here at AWA, we think that a human-centered light is what is needed for the evolution of our built environments - technology should be used primarily to create better environments for people, not just for material and architecture.

There are some universal rules about light that you cannot change: It has a certain range, a certain wavelength, a certain color ... but then it's about analyzing this: Why does the client prefer this type of light, this color temperature, these levels?

"Analyze feelings, try to understand what the sculptor wants to do, sew it together with the story and the journey."
