Lighting design in the eyes of interior designers


Aladdin's dialogue is close to Guangzhou Sizhe Design Co., Ltd.: lighting design in the eyes of interior designers.

It is an indispensable element for interior designers to shape the indoor environment, but most of the interior designers in China are very lacking in the relevant knowledge of rational use of this important element. They can only follow the feelings, and the results can be imagined. . Of course, there are many ways to solve this deficiency, but cooperation with lighting designers may be the most effective and economical option.

As a comprehensive service provider in the lighting industry, Aladdin Lighting Network made a special trip to Guangzhou's top interior design company Sizhe Design, trying to understand the lighting world, lighting puzzles and lighting in the eyes of interior designers through dialogue with senior designers of Sizhe design. Demand, thus seeking an effective lighting improvement channel for interior designers, and building a bridge between interior design and lighting designers.

Xu Gu. Sizhe Design Director Designer, registered architect.

Good lighting designers are often excellent interior designers.

In my eyes, a good lighting designer is often an excellent interior designer. He must have a good sense of space in order to create a good atmosphere of the lighting, so that his ideas and space can be closely combined, thus making the space more Beautiful and more fascinating.

Lighting designers and interior designers are both subordinate to the architect industry. Earlier I have heard that interior design and lighting design are the first to have chickens or eggs. My point of view on this topic is that there must be space first and then light. A design project, the space has not been designed, the focus is not clear where, how do lighting designers know where to know where to dark? So, must first be through the interior designer to complete the space design, the lighting designer To know where to use the lights, what kind of lights are needed. In this way, a good work can be designed.

Of course, after the space design is completed, if the lighting designer feels that we need to cooperate with some details in order to make the lighting better to the indoor environment, we are also willing to do such work. But the premise must be that the space design is first, and this order cannot be changed.

In addition, I still have a confusion. Many foreign designers have large-scale lighting labs. What kind of effects can be tested in the laboratory, so the deviation between the design effect and the concept will be reduced. At the top of the school, I have been thinking about when we can have such a space, thus changing the situation in which we can only rely on feeling or guessing when designing lighting. If lighting design companies have such a lighting lab, I would be happy to work with them and give them design fees. Because a large design needs a matching light.

Lin Haixiang, design director of Sizhe, specializes in hotel design.

It is an urgent issue for the owners to accept the lighting design.

I mainly do hotel design. As far as I know, in general, the hotel's lighting design only employs four or more stars to hire a special design company, otherwise it is done by an interior designer.

Honestly, lighting design is not professional, so I have tried to work with lighting design companies. In the process of working with a Hong Kong lighting company, I clearly felt that the professional lighting designer's understanding of lighting is completely different from ours. There are indeed many places worth learning. However, due to the lack of sufficient understanding of the importance of lighting design, owners often do not agree with lighting designers. The owners feel that they have already given the interior designer a design fee. The lighting design should cover the scope of the interior design, so it will not consider the cost of the other part of the lighting design. And our interior designers often only solve the problem of lighting (or illuminating), we are not professional in the control of light and the choice of lamps. Therefore, how to let the market accept and introduce the lighting company in general is what I think is more urgent now.

Easy to disjoint with lighting designers

Two of our recent projects have been coordinated with lighting designers. Due to certain factors, these two collaborations are not successful. One time because the lighting designer did not follow up in time at the end of the project, leading to the appearance of glare. Another time is when there is a city transformation, there are some differences in the concept of lighting designers. For example, in the renovation of the Liwan District, some older buildings, such as the South Building, we think that some floodlights are needed, but they are subject to some objective factors, but they use LED lighting, which is also some helplessness in our design. .

In general, I feel that interior designers are easily out of touch with lighting designers.

The first out of touch, lighting designers are often not as good as we understand engineering, which makes it easier for their design to be out of touch with the project. The second disconnect is that when the lighting designer is working on the project, the choice of the lamp is often only marked with the standard values ​​of some light sources, such as color rendering and color temperature, but the brand of the lamp is not marked, and we are not very Professional, so it is more difficult to select the ideal luminaire when choosing the lamp, which causes the disconnect between theory and practice.

Chen Hanqiang, the chief designer of Sizhe Design, specializes in model houses and dining spaces.

Lighting fixtures I support domestic products

My feelings are similar to those of Xu Gu. When I was doing lighting design, I was still operating with experience and lacked some specific experimental data. It is difficult to ensure that the actual effect of the work can reach the expected state of our design.

In addition, in the selection of lamps, because I do not know enough about the lamps, I usually choose some brands, and I will also listen to the introduction of some professional lighting personnel, and combine the on-site tests to dazzle the lamps on the market. The feeling for me is that the quality of domestic brands is still ok, so I hope everyone can support domestic products. (Laughter)

The cooperation between the lighting company and the owner needs to be improved

I have also worked with some lighting design companies and feel that the communication between these companies and the owners is not very good. For example, the lighting design company selected a certain type of lighting, we took it to Party A to purchase, but in the process of purchasing, it was found that such a product was not easy to find on the market. Although such a thing does not directly lead to serious consequences, it is still easy to create misunderstandings between partners.

Second, there are some deviations between us and the lighting designer's understanding of lighting. The lighting company I contacted is generally very bright about the lighting, but I may need some dark areas when designing, so there will be some problems in some coordination.

In addition, some lighting designers, of course, are only a small part, perhaps in order to reflect the professionalism of their lighting, it will inevitably use some difficult means to achieve results. Because it is very difficult to do, the owners often have conflicts with us that are difficult to coordinate. I don't think this is good, maybe I can improve it.

Lighting company's service awareness is not good enough

It is impossible for us to design without knowing the light, and we must always be exposed to the light in our work. But the more embarrassing fact is that we often can't find a suitable lighting company to cooperate. In fact, we don't want to know about lighting companies, but there are too few lighting companies that are willing to cooperate with us for a long time. If the company can provide us with long-term stable and high-quality services, as long as the product quality is excellent, the price is excellent, and we are willing to use it more in design and recommend it to customers. However, lighting companies often do not do enough in this regard. Some companies are reluctant to provide samples to designers, and the after-sales service attitude is not good enough. In fact, business opportunities are often missed.






In response to the understanding, problems and confusion of lighting proposed by Six Designers of Sizhe Design Co., Ltd., Aladdin Lighting Network also proposed as a professional lighting medium at the end of the dialogue, which can be used to connect interior design and lighting design. The efforts of the communication ties:

First, in China, because interior designers have little knowledge of lighting design expertise, how to improve the lighting design level of interior designers through systematic and professional technical training, which will add to the design work, which is the majority of China. The interior designer needs and desires. So, who will bear this responsibility? Aladdin Lighting Network will integrate domestic professional and advanced lighting design and architectural design talents, and can provide complete, systematic and practical curriculum design and training for interior designers, through theory and practice. A combination of ways to improve the level of lighting design for interior designers.

Second, lighting design is not a result, but a process of lighting practice. Without practice, the lighting effects cannot be truly represented. However, most designers in China (indoor, lighting, etc.) are designing lighting based on experience and habits. As a result, the actual results and design effects are very different. So, how can you make interior designers feel the lights and practice the lights? Go to the light lab. Aladdin Lighting Network can be opened to interior designers by large lighting design companies within the United Nations, and design and design lighting in the lighting laboratory.

Third, after the interior designer completes a work, the work is rarely tracked and evaluated in the later stage, so it is impossible to understand the application effect of the light in real life. Aladdin Lighting Network will organize professional lighting designers and lighting companies to conduct return visits and comprehensive evaluations for the interior works of interior designers, and provide constructive opinions to provide lighting services for interior designers.

Fourth, there are many kinds of lighting products, and there are thousands of lighting companies. How can interior designers quickly and confidently find the brands and products they need for their projects? Professional media is the best platform. Therefore, Aladdin Lighting Network can provide information consultants for interior designers and build a bridge between suppliers and designers.

5. Since April this year, Aladdin Lighting Network has held exchange meetings and forums between architects, lighting designers, interior designers and engineering companies every month. The purpose is to strengthen exchanges and cooperation between various parties and will Guangdong's overall lighting design and interior design level have been improved as a whole.
