Light from the Ceiling: Invisible Fixtures

Interior upward view of a high-ceiling boutique. The ceiling is a complete, light-colored plaster plane. A deep, recessed light cove runs along the edge where the ceiling meets the walls, with soft, indirect light washing down the walls from within the cove. Accent lighting for merchandise comes from very small, deeply recessed lights embedded in the ceiling; the light sources are almost invisible from the ground, only the illuminated merchandise is seen. There are no exposed light fixtures or pendant lights anywhere in the space.
Avoid: Ceiling covered with large-diameter downlights and tracks, using crystal chandeliers as main lighting, exposed light tubes and strips, multi-layered ceiling designs and cornices.

精品店挑高的室內仰視,天花是一片完整的淺色灰泥平面,邊緣與牆面之間留著一道深凹的光槽,柔和的間接光從光槽裡洗下牆面;商品的重點照明來自嵌在天花裡的極小開孔深凹燈,從地面上看幾乎看不見光源,只看到被照亮的商品。整個空間沒有任何一盞外露的燈具或吊燈。避免:天花上布滿大口徑的筒燈與軌道、使用水晶吊燈作為主要照明、看得到裸露的燈管與燈條、天花出現多層次的造型與線板。
