Luis Alves + Samuel Resende - Lavabo Casulo. O projeto é um convite a desacelerar. O espaço foi criado para ser um verdadeiro refúgio de permanência, onde a luz quente envolve de forma sutil, revelando cores profundas e linhas contínuas. Sem contrastes bruscos que quebrem a paz do olhar, a iluminação suave desperta a vontade de tocar e sentir o ambiente. Tudo ali sussurra conforto e intimidade de forma silenciosa, oferecendo uma pausa introspectiva e relaxante no meio do dia. A ambiência se constrói pela continuidade visual e pela sensação de abrigo, criando uma experiência sensorial que acolhe sem excessos. A percepção do espaço é gradual, permitindo que o usuário se conecte ao ambiente de maneira natural e fluida. A proposta é criar uma atmosfera de permanência e bem-estar, onde o tempo parece desacelerar e a experiência se torna mais contemplativa. (Felipe Petrovsky/CASACOR)
Before thinking about furniture, colors, and finishes, lighting already influences how a space is perceived. It can make a space more welcoming, encourage concentration, highlight architectural elements, or create an intimate atmosphere. That's why defining the appropriate light intensity for each room is a fundamental step in interior planning.

More than choosing a beautiful lamp, a lighting project considers the use of each project, the amount of natural light available, and the activities carried out throughout the day. The result is a balanced composition, in which different lighting levels coexist to provide visual comfort.
General lighting is responsible for distributing light evenly, allowing the space to be used with comfort. It is usually achieved through ceiling lights, central pendants, tracks, or recessed ceiling fixtures.

In this case, the intensity should be sufficient to ensure good visibility without causing glare. Projects such as kitchens, laundry areas, and offices usually require more intense general lighting, while living rooms and bedrooms can work with softer levels.
Some activities require specific light reinforcement. Reading, cooking, studying, or applying makeup are examples of tasks that call for directed lighting, capable of reducing shadows and providing greater visual comfort.

Table lamps, desk lamps, LED strips under cabinets, and sconces near the countertop are solutions that help complement general lighting without excessively increasing the intensity throughout the entire project.
Beyond its practical function, lighting can also direct the eye to certain elements of the project. Niches, works of art, textures, panels, shelves, or indoor gardens gain prominence when they receive dedicated lighting.

Adjustable spotlights, LED profiles, and small recessed fixtures are resources frequently used to create this effect, adding depth and dynamism to the composition of the spaces.
Not all projects need intense lighting. In living rooms, bedrooms, balconies, and spaces intended for rest, lower levels of luminosity usually favor an atmosphere of welcoming and relaxation.

In these cases, indirect lighting fixtures, table lamps, wall sconces and LED strips positioned behind panels or furniture help distribute light in a diffused manner, reducing contrasts and making the project more comfortable.
Light intensity works together with the color temperature of the bulbs. Warmer tones, usually between 2,700 K and 3,000 K, create cozier projects and are typically recommended for living rooms and bedrooms.

On the other hand, more neutral or cooler temperatures favor activities that require attention and precision, being common in kitchens, offices and service areas. The right combination of intensity and color temperature helps each project better fulfill its function.
Contemporary projects rarely rely on a single light source. Instead, they combine general, task, decorative and accent lighting, allowing the project to adapt to different times of the day.

This overlapping of layers offers greater flexibility in the use of spaces and creates varied scenarios, whether for working, hosting guests, relaxing or having a meal.
