Modern Lighting Three Ways: Tom Dixon, Marset, Research.Lighting

Tom Dixon, Marset, and Research.Lighting all approach modern lighting in different ways. Tom Dixon brings bold shapes and metallic drama, the kind of pieces that instantly become the focus of a room. Marset leans warm and thoughtful, with designs that feel lived in and quietly inventive. Research.Lighting keeps things minimal and sculptural, offering calm forms with a bit of character. Together, these three show that modern lighting is not one style. It can be expressive, warm, or quietly confident depending on the mood you want to create.

I started a new notebook for my design ideas with colour coding by season. As I add more, I might add a second set of colours towards the bottom of the page for item type. But so far I only have a handful of ideas and designs-in-progress in there, so it isn't necessary yet. #knitdesign #notebook #gettingorganised #knitting #patternideas #instaknit #instacrochet #handarbeitskram #selanasdesigns #designinprogress #designnotes

How Bright is 500 Lumens? 500 Lumens to Watts

Five hundred lumens is roughly the brightness of a 40 watt incandescent bulb, or about 5 to 8 watts on an LED. It gives you a soft but useful glow, enough for reading, hallways, small bedrooms, and most bedside lamps. It is gentle, not harsh, and works best in smaller fixtures or as part of layered lighting. The key idea: choose bulbs by lumens, not watts, if you want the right brightness.

Move over, UX. A new movement is here.

The VX movement is accelerating. And now that there’s a name for it, it’s only a matter of time before successful brands and product teams fully embrace it.

“With a VX approach, video is equal parts art and science, standing at the crossroads of design and psychology where every detail is intentionally crafted and proven to elicit a specific reaction.”

Sketchnotes from the talks on ‘Diversity and Inclusion in Tech’; organised by IXDA + Adobe + Nasscom on the World Interaction Design Day (25th September, 2018). The speaker panel comprised of : Alok Nandi, Aparna Ashok and Neha Khandelwal.

Alok Nandi spoke about the history and origin of IXDA. Interaction Design, as he mentioned stemmed from the idea about trying to design better interactions and experiences for the users. He stirred some thoughts on returning autonomy in contrast to complete automation for the end users.

Takeaway: “ Could Design help public policy in solving Bangalore traffic somehow ? Could we begin to think of designing for the planet ?”

Aparna Ashok presented a fantastic talk about Ethical Considerations one must take while while designing products and services today. She put forth this frame work consisting : privacy, security, inclusivity, behaviour modification, agency and authenticity; to keep in mind. What data can we gather ? What does the user own ? How do we include someone considerately? How much do we tweak/tamper someone ’s behaviour ?

Takeaway: “ETHICS , as the steering wheel for our Design”

Neha Khandelwal from Enable India, shed some light on designing for individuals with disabilities. How one mustn’t think of them as edge case users /consider them for modified solutions; rather approach an inclusive design pattern which makes them feel as equal as an abled person. She discussed the work being done at Enable, India and put forth some learnings such as ‘The sense of community is very strong with disabled individuals - they seek solace in people going through a similar state’

Takeaway: “Platforms and services should be designed with disabilities as the focus user . Simple bits like a web page’s design works drastically differently for someone with visual impairment.”
