DESIGN SPOTLIGHTS: THE MODERN SOLUTION FOR LIGHTING

MURANO GLASS AND CRYSTAL SPOTLIGHTS,
BRASS ADJUSTABLE SPOTLIGHTS TO LIGHT UP YOUR HOME WITH STYLE

Furnishing a home is undoubtedly one of the most exciting experiences. By choosing colours, materials, the position of furniture items and interior design objects there is the manifestation of our personality and this way we make our home a representation of who we are.

With reference to the above, lighting plays a very important role in the furnishing phase because, as we have seen , lights – position and type – can greatly influence the final result

The choice of lighting fixtures is obviously linked to the taste and style that you intend to bring within your home and each type of lighting technology has its own specific characteristics.

The chandelier is a great classic but, among the most modern solutions, spotlights offer surprising opportunities that are worth considering.

Not only traditional recessed spotlights but also exposed spotlights, decorated, with pendants or precious materials such as Murano glass or crystal spotlights: a category of lighting fixtures to be discovered!

HOW TO USE SPOTLIGHTS, HOW MANY HAVE TO BE USED
AND WHERE SHOULD THEY BE POSITIONED

Ceiling spotlights are a perfect solution for any room in your home, from the kitchen to the bathroom, from the entrance to the bedroom. They are particularly suitable in all those situations where space is limited because they take up little space and are multifunctional, in the sense that they can complete the general lighting or fulfil a working requirement (functional light) or serve as an accent lighting, should you want to convey one’s attention to a specific point in the environment, for example, a painting or a mirror.

Furthermore, they are also perfect in the workplace, in commercial spaces and in offices because they adapt to any type and size of compartment, allowing extremely homogeneous brightness that allows you to “play” with light and its effects.

Depending on the environment, spotlights of different sizes can be chosen but, in the home, recessed spotlights ranging from approximately 8 to 13 cm are generally used.

The sizes of the spotlight are not directly proportional to the amount of light emitted because this is related to the power of the light bulb. The ideal brightness depends on the function that the spotlight has to perform – functional, accent or ambient light – and on the natural light there is within the space in which the spotlights are to be positioned.

Another prerogative of recessed spotlights is that they can be positioned both inside false ceilings and on the wall or on the floor and they can be fixed or adjustable.

Based on the design and the material that they are made of, recessed spotlights offer different results in terms of aesthetics and promote the environment in different ways. The shape of the spotlight is generally round or square, but what differentiates them is the protective ring and the presence of decorative elements.

The optimal number of spotlights therefore depends on the size of the room and the power of the light bulbs, by taking as a reference the standard values of light intensity recommended for the various rooms (kitchen, lounge, bedroom etc.). We must not forget the directionality of the light beam emitted by the spotlight.

Directed light is perfect if you want to create ambient lighting, for example, in the living room but, if you want functional light, for example, on the kitchen worktop, you need to calculate the right distance between one light point and another to avoid creating shadows.

Now, let’s have a look at some examples of recessed spotlights and exposed spotlights in precious materials designed by Patrizia Volpato.

RECESSED LED SPOTLIGHTS
TO FURNISH YOUR HOME WITH STYLE AND DESIGN

Patrizia Volpato offers a range of spotlights with numerous style variations, using technologically advanced solutions and quality materials.

The Spotlights collection offers a square LED spotlight, a second model with a squared brass ring  and various solutions with a round ring  with a diameter of 13 cm. Then, there are 10 cm recessed spotlights  or 8 cm diameter round LED spotlights  in different styles and materials.

Each recessed LED spotlight is equipped with a cast brass structure available in different types of finishes to best adapt to the design of any space inside your home. It is therefore possible to find spotlights for a classic kitchen, spotlights for a modern bedroom, for a corridor etc. in polished chrome, 24 Karat gold, matte gold, silver, matte white, black and many other finishes.

In addition to the fixed spotlights, both design adjustable ceiling spotlights and classic style adjustable spotlights  are available. This type of spotlight is ideal when you want to light up a confined spot.

All of the recessed spotlights of the Spotlights collection are also dimmable spotlights and LED spotlights.

But Spotlights also offers numerous solutions of design items in crystal, Murano glass, with pendants, made according to Venetian craftsmanship and other more modern spotlights in steel.

These are excellent suggestions for enriching your home with elements which, in addition to having a useful and necessary function – that is to light up the environment – constitute real furnishing elements that give a precise imprint to the style of the home.

Let’s have a look at some of them together.

DESIGN LED CEILING SPOTLIGHTS – MODERN AND DECORATIVE LIGHTING

If you want to use spotlights instead of a chandelier or of a classic ceiling light, the recessed spotlights made in crystal or in handcrafted Murano glass offer the possibility of providing for a luxurious and refined effect. Furthermore, crystal has the advantage of guaranteeing perfect refraction of light, with a truly surprising result.

Playing with shapes is also an original idea that does not have to be underestimated: a flower-shaped spotlight with crystal petals , for example, or one that is cube-shaped, but with decorative crystal pendants, or again – for a flawless light refraction – one in 36-sided ground crystal.

What characterises the collections by Patrizia Volpato is the attention to detail, the attention to the use of cutting-edge technologies and the profound respect for the traditions of Murano glassmaking.

One of these manufactures is the fringe made of Venetian glass beads  – which requires an ancient process registered in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage and which Patrizia Volpato proposes in the Venezia collection and in its round recessed spotlight  with a diameter of 13 cm.: perfect to combine both a classic and a modern style.

And, of course, the spotlights with a more contemporary taste cannot be missed: a sphere-shaped spotlight entirely made in metal or spotlights with a precious ring in the purest crystal.

With spotlights it is really possible to give ample scope for creativity. Discover all of the possibilities offered by lighting with spotlights: discover the Spotlights collection by Patrizia Volpato!
