Kitchen lighting is often overlooked or reduced to a single central ceiling light, but the kitchen is a space that requires a carefully planned lighting system. It is the place where food is prepared, the family gathers, and where aesthetics meet functionality.

When it comes to icons that influenced 20th-century lighting design, the name Serge Mouille is unavoidable. This French sculptor and metal lamp designer created a collection that still shapes spaces today as powerfully as the light it emits.

When we talk about the development of modern lighting, it is hard not to start by asking what would have happened if Edison’s direct current (DC) system had won the “war of electricity” instead of Tesla’s alternating current (AC). Direct current would have required a power plant to be located in close proximity to every street, factory, or home. It cannot withstand long-distance transmission. This would have made mass electrification – and therefore lighting – extremely expensive. It would also be logistically demanding and only available in densely populated urban centers.

Although lighting is a basic element of everyday life, its proper design, use and installation are subject to various laws and regulations, which ensure safety, energy efficiency and reduction of negative impacts on the environment.

In interiors that strive for uniqueness and visual identity, lighting often transcends functional boundaries and becomes an independent design element. The Cornica chandelier, created by Corda for Optika Ercegović in Šibenik, is just such an example.

Hotel lighting is not just a matter of aesthetics or technical specifications. It is one of the key tools in shaping the atmosphere, mood, and perception of the object itself.
Namely, light is the first thing a guest unconsciously senses upon entering a space. A warm-lit lobby creates a sense of welcome and security, while discreet, ambient lighting in rooms encourages relaxation and a sense of privacy.

A lampshade is often treated as a consumable part. When it gets damaged, turns yellow, the wires break, or simply doesn't fit the space, it needs to be replaced. But looking for a new lampshade can be frustrating — the diameter, height, opening, thread, shape, material, color, or light diffusion don't match. If you've ever tried to find exactly what you need, you've probably come across a wall — stores offer ready-made pieces, rarely with the option to choose the size or design. And old lamps often have brackets that are no longer standard. What then?

In hotels where a guest first enters a room expecting silence, relaxation and private luxury, wall lamps are silent protagonists. Their design is certainly a decorative detail, but it is also a functional element that shapes the experience of light, space and mood.

In the world of architecture and interior design, there is an unwritten rule: a project is only as successful as the relationships between all parties involved. When a team of designers, investors and lighting manufacturers understand, listen and complement each other, the result is inevitable – a functional and aesthetically harmonious space in which lighting does not dominate, but complements. Just such an example comes from another project in which Corda Lighting showed everything that makes it stand out.
