The team at Definitive 1, the North West based interior design and production company, regard lighting as a crucial element in transforming a good scheme, into a truly great scheme.
Helen Brown, Managing Director at Definitive 1 explains, “Collaborating with specialists at the earliest possible stage of a project is vital to ensure that the best results are created for the client. Preparing a considered and practical initial plan which incorporates all
aspects of the scheme, will save costly mistakes later down the line, and lighting is no exception to this rule.”
Helen continues, ” It’s fascinating to work alongside a lighting specialist to develop the initial ideas, that can enhance and actually transform a space with stunning results. An intelligent design will bring both technical expertise and product knowledge to best suit the design brief. It’s such an important part of the process to discuss collective visions and consider all the elements; whether this is general, ambient, task or accent lighting to achieve the best solution. Implementing a carefully orchestrated design using mood and control lighting can often perfectly finish and enhance the overall scheme”.
Definitive 1 understands the importance of bringing in specialists for particular aspects
of a scheme. Helen comments; ” When we designed a bespoke headboard made from deep etched glass panels, we knew that it was important that this stunning feature was lit up to maximise its splendour. To achieve this, we worked closely with the lighting designers Asco Lights and their expertise helped us to create a technique which penetrates through the glass, capturing the deep etched design rather then simply “lighting it up”. As with all design, the devils in the detail. Working alongside our trusted specialists, we deliver schemes which delight our clients and also inspire our team at Definitive 1 to push our creative interior solutions.”
