2022/23 SS Architectural lighting plays a crucial role in enhancing the ambiance and aesthetic appeal of outdoor spaces. This project presents a hanging lamp designed specifically for exterior applications, drawing inspiration from the captivating beauty of arched entrances. The objective of this innovative lighting fixture is to illuminate doorways by skillfully highlighting the architectural aspects of the entrance, creating a visually striking and welcoming atmosphere.
The Tulpenblatt hanging lamp embraces the graceful curves and symmetrical arches often found in architectural designs.
The primary feature of this lighting fixture lies in its ability to accentuate the architectural details of a doorway. Through strategic positioning the lamp casts a gentle, focused glow that traces the contours of the entrance, bringing attention to the artistic elements and enhancing their prominence.
By highlighting the arches, curves, and other intricate features of the entrance besides the elements of the door this hanging lamp creates a captivating visual experience for both residents and visitors.

Light at Doors and Gates
Illuminating the Entrance. The entrance of a building serves as its business card. At night, door areas with good illumination appear particularly inviting, convey security and orientation as well as reflect the design consciousness of the property owners. Glare-free lighting and appropriate illumination of the functional areas highlighting the architectural transition zones play a role which is just as important as the position and orientation of the outdoor lights or the luminous intensity and colour of the light sources.
