Backlit Glass: Uniform Illumination on Frosted Surfaces

An entire wall made of frosted glass, with an approximately ten-centimeter cavity behind it. Linear lighting fixtures are installed inside, casting light onto the back of the glass. The inner walls of the cavity are painted white to increase diffusion. From the front, the entire glass panel emits an extremely uniform milky white glow, with no visible shapes of light fixtures, no bright strips, and no darkening around the edges, appearing like a seamless, thin surface of light. The frosted particles of the glass are discernible up close, providing a subtle texture rather than pure light. This luminous wall serves as the sole light source in the space, casting soft, edgeless shadows from the furniture and people in front of it. Avoid: Allowing the lines of the light fixtures to show through, noticeable dark corners around the edges, making the cavity too shallow resulting in uneven brightness, or adding colored light.

一整面作為牆體的磨砂玻璃,後方留有約十公分的空腔,內設線性燈具朝玻璃背面打光,空腔的內壁漆成白色以增加漫射。從正面看,整片玻璃呈現極為均勻的乳白發光,沒有任何燈具的形狀、沒有亮條、沒有四周變暗的現象,像一整片沒有厚度的光面。玻璃的磨砂顆粒在近看時可辨,提供一點材質感而不是純粹的光。這面發光牆成為空間中唯一的光源,把前方的家具與人照出柔和無銳角的陰影。避免:讓燈具的線條透出、四周出現明顯的暗角、把空腔做得太淺導致亮度不均、加入彩色光。
