The subject of discussion is nonstationary lamps, that is, those lamps, for attachment of which, in the literal sense, no "no nails" is required.
The term "Mobile Light" is highly specialized, but perfectly suitable for denoting the topic of this article. The subject of our conversation is nonstationary lamps, for which the "no nails" are not required in the literal sense. Note that the usual "floor lamp", the "table lamp", "night light" would be more correct to call the lamps, every time specifying their type (outdoor, desktop IT.P.). But we decided to do without professionalism, but to use in the descriptions of vocabulary, adopted in everyday use.
About the decorative role of light in the interior is said and written so much that now, it would seem, you should only briefly summarize and think about how to use knowledge gained in the design of your own dwellings. But not everything is so simple. First, fundamentally different artificial light sources are halogen, luminescent, incandescent lamps, exist in the modern interior on equal rights. Secondly, the design of the lamps is so diverse that it is extremely difficult to group them even by styles. Alleged with this, unshakable, it would seem that the rules are subjected to a serious check. For example, a well-known statement in which the scheduling, chandelier and a table lamp, located in the same room, should be the same in design, now it sounds no longer so desperate as before. On the contrary, we strongly offer to experiment and combine what previously seemed incompatible. Do you consider yourself a conservative? Well, the better, then you will not be difficult to take advantage of traditional recipes.
Around the world
Before going to a long and, we hope, a fascinating journey, we note: there are two fundamentally different views on the role of light in the interior. The first is associated with functionalism in design and architecture. His adherents are confident that the lamps should be purely practical subjects, poor and not decorated. The light is beautiful and in itself, it is necessary only to properly distribute it in accordance with the peculiarities of a particular residential area. The second look at the same problem in its essence is exactly the opposite: the light is beautiful, but this does not mean that there is nothing to add to his radiant charms. On the contrary, there are thousands of ways to famous artists and designers.So, first of all, it is worth thinking if you are ready to pay extra the amount for this very embellished charm, from which, in general, there is no special benefit. If this approval is sincerely indisputable and you will say that aesthetic pleasure, comfort and originality also belong to the category of useful things, it means that the decisive role is selected when choosing a lamp model plays for you decor.
Light heads
Lamps of different type-halogen, incandescent, luminescent (including energy-saving), - as we have said, peacefully adjacent in the modern interior. Slipping with this inevitably there is a problem: what kind of light sources prefer? Tungsten thread of incandescent lamps radiates warm (in our sensation - cozy) light. Halogen and luminescent sources are economical, but their radiance seems to be "cold", therefore, more "office". Avdrug is prejudice? After all, the design of the lamp and the type of lamp is interrelated things. In the early time in Europe, luminescent sources began to use very popular. It is under them that many designers create their own projects. The consumer consumers still prefer the old Good Bulb Edison (it did not change much more for 150 years of its existence). And the point is not only in its low cost (although the energy-saving lamp is almost 50 times more expensive). Above everything for us is still traditional.
A lot of studies studying the effect of light of various lamps on color. For example, ladies claiming that certain lighting changes not to the best skin color, absolutely right. So, some types of mercury lamps (not all) can give people a greenish tint. It is not recommended to highlight with cold sources of food sources. Meat with a blinker ... BR-PP! By the way, you should not forget about it, choosing a color of the plaffron or lampshar.
First impression
Now, armed with a minimum of necessary knowledge, we can fully go to the "round-the-world" journey through our own home. It begins, as usual, in the hallway. It is not necessary to be a big specialist to guess about the inappropriate lamps in this interior area. However, as you know, stereotypes have little help creativity. Including example, we give one of the newest design development. Luceplan (Italy) is represented without exaggeration universal model Chichibio ($ 350). Matte polycarbonate plander is fixed on a telescopic bar with spring-free shock absorber. We raise the rod until the ceiling (on top it is closed, so the overheating is impossible) will not be strengthened into the ceiling (the height of the model is 220-330cm), fix it, turn on ... The lamp turns into a kind of shiny "strut", which occupies quite a bit . Such a model is especially justified at a low ceiling, as the dissipated light visually lifts it over less illuminated walls.Table lamps located symmetrically on the shelves on both sides of the mirror - also an acceptable solution. In this case, the room becomes much lighter and as if wider.
Socialite talk
The living room is a parade zone, which, as it was heard, should be literally flooded with light. "However! - You will say. - How is uneconomically!" Perhaps. But we do not arrange balls and solemn techniques every day, and five or six favorite friends and as many relatives may well come to visit at the same time. This case requires a rather bright overall light (chandelier, for example). However, it all depends on the situation. If the living room and dining room are divided, then for a friendly (not a feast!) Conversations sufficiently non-lard local light. Extremely successful option combining the overall and local light - floor lamps with an additional "folding" lamp required when reading or working. Such is the Tulip model (28000rub.) From GROSSMANN (Germany).
To the question exactly where to install the flooring, the unambiguous answer is difficult to give. Portable lamps are existing so that you can change their location at any time. As a rule, they are put next to the chair or the sofa, on the left and a little behind, so the most convenient to read and lead the conversation. It is no less complicated and, in truth, almost inexhaustible the question of the design of lamps. Classification can only be approximate. For example, in the form of the lampshar or by the material from which it is made.
If we talk about form, then the classic cone seems to never come out of fashion. Its advantage is not only in tradition, it is explained from a functional point of view. The cone optimally dispels the light (there is only a less popular in our homes less popular in our homes). Tesser 3516 (20500rub.) Companies Pale (Spain) and desktop lamp Conica (7000rub.) From Copyright (Italy) refer to the number just such models. Fabrics as natural (flax, cotton) and artificial are often used for making lamps. There are more complex options. Let's say, Luceplan lamp lamp lamp from Luceplan is made of Nomex fabric, which is literally "in the fire is not lit and in water does not sink" (that is, it is not afraid of overheating and easily transfers washing in a conventional washing machine). From the same fabric, by the way, they sew the costumes of Formula 1 riders. In addition, designers willingly apply paper, skin and even fur - sometimes extravagant solutions quickly go into the category of traditional.
The glass is the material as traditional, as well as having to all sorts of experiments. Extremely popular and fashionable motive, distant from minimalist canons, floristic, are straightforwardly associated. The living room turned into a kind of seedliness of the Garden (expensive, but beautiful!) Will strike the imagination of any guest.
As BELLART (Italy) is rightly noted, its Deco collection (table lamp - 8000rub.) Is "not only light sources, but also refined settings, design, inspired by nature." Enclosures of SOFFIO (35000rub.) "Flowers", "bushes" and "trees" as if silent under the dunge of the wind. Separate thin stems are collected in a bundle and sent by petal ... It is difficult to believe that all these "stalks" and "leaflets" are nothing more than wrought iron. Flowers themselves are made by hand from excellent Muranian glass. Similar technology (and, consequently, the price) inherent in the collections of CA 'D'Oro and Sora Luce Sylcom (Italy). Less roads, but at the same time no less adorable ladder ka-032.44.n. (11700rub.) And desk lamps Ka-032.72.n.s. (4160rub.) And ka-032.73.n. (5500 rubles) from Kaal International (Austria).
The sensory lamps have become part of our life for a long time, but their ability to respond to touch, heat hands and just someone's presence in the room still causes delight mixed with a slight bewilderment: how is it all arranged? We will not delve into technical features, let's just say that such models are usually very economical and at the same time amazingly spectacular. Sensotec desktop and floor lamps (from $ 180) Steinel (Germany) are equipped with presence sensors and a soft start system. You can enjoy entering the room so that the sensors work. An unpleasant switches in the pitch darkness is thus canceled.
Bubble lamp (a funny ball with a shell of translucent silicone) from Mathmos is enough to squeeze in the hand so that it shine a soft painted light. The Agaricon Luceplan table lamp resembles a big mushroom, on the plastic hat of which is (right on the fabulous plot!) Magic ring. Before the ring you need to touch and do not take your hands until the light acquires the desired brightness.
Table lamp, Note, is not a mandatory element of the living room. But very often manufacturers offer kits that include chandelier, floor lamp, sconce and table lamp, which fully complies with the classical principles of the decor. The Galassia and Venere collections, developed by Lamp (Italy), are restrained, minimalist, although not only nickel is used to finish metal parts, but also luxurious gold. Similar lamps are good next to strict geometric furniture.
The problem of style compliance, which we have touched, is important extremely important. It is impossible to choose the lamp only on the principle of "liked". This element of the decor itself is too bright (in all senses), which is determining the frequent composite center of the interior. We will conduct a small "comparative analysis." We have two models in front of us: Bamboo flooring (40,500 rubles) Masca (Italy) and Torscher Gala ($ 200) from Paulmann (Germany). Formally, there is some similarity between them: tubes - "stems" and cylindrical plafones- "Flowers". But in the first case, the model literally copies the structure of the bamboo stem (for consuming designers, designers are used as a finishing of the skin), and in the second is a geometric and stylized embodiment of the same motive. As a result, the first lamp is suitable for the interior in an exotic or ethnic spirit, and the second harmoniously fit into the minimalist environment.
Luis Comfort Tiffany, as you know, created a unique multicolor glass "Faavril" (it is painted in the mass of special reactivities, it happens matte or polished) and began to make your amazing volumetric stained glass windows (pieces of glass solder together with the thinnest plates of copper foil) in which included Even semi-precious stones. However, since then, famous irises and dragonflies have repeatedly reproduced by various factories working in Tiffany technique. In addition, decorative innovations appeared. For example, the designers of the Spanish Tiffany Lamps factory offer lampshades with a geometric ornament (an unprecedented phenomenon for Tiffany style, which has arisen on the soil of exquisite and prefaby ar-nouveau). Small lamps appeared in the form of animal figures. There are models in which the drawing is only framed, and most of the lampsier remains one-color (one more obvious retreat from style). Such models can cost from $ 200 (which is already acceptable) and above (the upper bar, as you understand, it is not always possible to designate).
Shadow play
The bedroom is the sole room, where the decorative and functional role of light is almost equal. Here you can also abandon general stationary lighting. Small and original lamps (especially good in this regard, all sorts of nightlights) perfectly create an atmosphere of intimacy and peace. From mandatory rules, you can mention only that the light in no case should be direct (only dissipated and soft). The most favorable conditions for experiments with color are created. Stained glass and simply non-ferrous lampshades, filters, helium dozens of methods that allow you to "paint" light.The effect occurs truly magical. Very mysterious and fascinatingly beautiful lamps of Mathmos (United Kingdom). Inside their glass or plastic housing, filled with gel, move up-down oily colored drops. Lights from these devices are a bit, but the atmosphere is created unique. Experiments with color filters are no less popular. Many leading manufacturers, such as Fabbian, Artemide (Italy) and many others, paint light in this way.
Table lamp on HAPPY Candle batteries ($ 190-236, depending on modification) from Lumen Center (Italy), thanks to the built-in RGB system, changes spectral colors. You just need to click on the top of the lamp and hold it until the desired color appears. If you turn the top, the colors will begin to change themselves.
The acrylic case of the Omega lamp ($ 117-240) of Di Vetro (Italy) is available in several bright colors. AVOT NET / LG lamp housing (7360-14050rub., Depending on the modification) from Copyright consists of two parts. The inner is made of polycarbonate, and the external one of the natural straw. In general, it is not so much light as the light, how much spectacular openwork shadows.
Work is work...
You have a cabinet or not, not so important. The question is whether you have to work at home. And if your labor activity is associated with a long-term seat behind a computer or viewing business paper. For computer and desktops decorativeness, agree less important than functionality. Here are light portable lamps in strict style High Tech- ideal option.
Bilumen (Italy) designed a collection, as if specifically designed for workaholics. ISY PINZA (5670-5880 rub., Depending on the modification), its version with the MaxiSy Morsetto clamp (7300rub) and the Maxisy flooring (12150-13200rub., Depending on the modification) is functional and conceptually. Adlas of those who are in the workplace do not refuse home comfort, desk lamps are suitable. For example, Lisa model ($ 360) from Lumina (Italy).
Magic ray
The choice of the lamp for children is directly related to the child's age. There is no universal solutions. It is necessary to think through the smallest details, since errors can cost extremely expensive. Let's start with the prohibitions. What should not be in the nursery under any circumstances. Invalid straight blinding light, only dissipated and soft. The usual absentee-cones here do not suit the kid can look at the light bulb from below, which will cause his vision irreparable damage. Years up to seven should not put a lamp with glass beams and lamps and lamps in the child's room, even if the sales assistant swars in their absolute strength and security. The bunch of the design will withstand, but who guarantees that a tortured experimental will not take more effective measures, somehow: beating a tennis racket, a ruler or hammer? Smashed, by the way, maybe the light bulb, so it is better to choose a plander without any holes so that the fragments remain inside. All wires (not speaking about sockets) - to remove from the eye. After all, you can not only pull, but ... nibble! Do you think we are talking about some incredibly aggressive children? Nothing like that, all of the above focuses are able to do any kid, being in the most pleasant arrangement of the Spirit.But pretty about problems. Lamp in the children's- source of magic and joy. On- part of the game and everyday life. Luceplan has developed the original ForteBraccio model ($ 200-250) specifically for the child's room. This is a tabletop lamp with a halogen lamp, absolutely protected and safe. Low voltage, special depreciation system (even if the baby struck the lamp, it only smoothly smoothly), finally, modern and stylish design - all data to become the object of your attention!
Night light in a children's and special topic. He must be insensitive, "lulling", capable of dispel the nightmare nightmare in an instant and calm down. Valid dreams from "adults" bedside lamps are not adapted for reading. Extremely popular lamps-toys, acquiring which parents solve two problems at once. EDI Robot ($ 348) from Desart Lighting (Italy) - a collection of lamp robots. For those who already ... five, - a wonderful toy and no less wonderful lamp. Funny balls of funny balls from Bilumen White, Blue, Pink and Yellow Colors are made of plastic.
When your child becomes a schoolboy, in addition to the overall and pure "game" light, the "workers" lamps are required. Their choice does not differ from the choice of similar models for the office or living room. The light on the left and a little behind is ideal and in this case.
Miracles and quidnings
There are things that can hardly "fit" under the definition of this or that style. They are funny that sometimes does not prevent them from being confidently, and extravagant that sometimes it does not affect their cost. Paradox? Nice, because fantasies have no borders, including price.
A kind of rethinking of floral motifs was presented by Di Vetro. The Biosfera Mini model ($ 128-168, depending on the modification) has a special deepening in a solid body from Murano glass, intended for ... flower pot. It is included in the kit and is made of insulating materials that protect the plant from overheating. Almerich (Spain) joined the Crystal model, a refined lamp-flower with a delightful vase for live flowers. Petals of stylized "daisies" Flower and multicolored "bags" Jolie from Flaver (Italy) are made from Murano glass. The tensile lamp of the same manufacturer is assembled from curved wooden elements. According to Bellart, the light always inspired poets. That is why Tesser Charta is decorated with a "scroll" from Murano glass. Very road and as amazing models 250F5gr, Hollywood and BROOM from Brand En Van Egmond (Holland). The metal "brush" or "branching tree" in the living room will cause many sense among your acquaintances. Do you like it? Then dare! No less effect will be made and funny "banks" Barattolo (1400-1700rub.) From Copyright, inside of which, instead of jam or salt cucumbers, lies with color, rolled into the ring cable.
Do no harm!
Unfortunately, the owners of houses and apartments are not so often recalling the notorious Sanpines and Gostakh, about urban (federal) lighting norms. And in vain, since all these mandatory and recommended rules are extremely important. Not only for our interior, but also for us. Therefore, we strongly recommend contacting specialists. As a rule, everyone is interested in the type of lamps (see above) and the rules of operation of the lamp (the technical passport should be studied here). There are, by the way, the truths that have long passed in the category of everyday wisdoms. For example, it is well known that it is not worth it even in order to save the lamp for a short time. From this lamp burns fire faster. Those who replace the lamp lamp are more powerful.
You should not forget that, no matter how beautiful is your lamp, security measures (with electricity jokes are bad!) It should be observed strictly. Quite often, the role of "defenders" takes on various built-in devices. For example, a dimmer protects from unpleasant fire-hazardous surprises such as network overload, although its main function is adjusting the illumination. Single the simple lever-switch or remote control (some dimmers can be programmed) We "reflect" or "add" the light, which is extremely convenient. Safety of operation and comforts, closely interrelated.
So, the "Around Move" approached the end. We went around such zones as a kitchen and a bathroom, but the use of mobile lamps is not particularly common. Some recommend the floor lamp in the bathroom "to create an atmosphere", but, frankly, the atmosphere can be created and some less troublesome manner (for lamps in the bathroom and in the kitchen requires special security measures).
As for the prices of the "Light Dream", then they are as diverse as an assortment. According to experts, the difficulty and quality of assembly of a model has a decisive effect on the cost. Materials, however, are also important. From plastic to the rhinestones of Swarovski- options thousands.
The editors thank the salons "Lumators", "Paul Design of Light", "Salon of lamps on a small Ordinke", "Tifani" for help in the preparation of material.
