Within the home, lighting is a crucial element that often goes unnoticed. This oversight can be considered a mistake, as lighting directly affects our mood and well-being. Having proper lighting can help us create more comfortable spaces.
Light for Every Moment: Finding the Balance Between Function and Ambience
The modern kitchen has evolved from being a mere workspace to becoming the heart of the home, a gathering place for family and friends. Therefore, lighting plays a key role, not only in functional terms but also in its emotional and aesthetic impact. From general lighting, such as adjustable ceiling spotlights, to ambient lighting, each light source contributes to creating a comfortable and efficient environment.
Functional lighting is especially important in the kitchen, as work areas where knives and sharp utensils are used must be well-lit. For this purpose, low-consumption LED lights under cabinets and in the rail system between the countertop and upper cabinets are recommended, ensuring optimal visibility.
In integrated kitchen-dining spaces, lighting takes on a more emotional and decorative role. In these cases, a subtle ambient lighting is preferred over intense, focused lighting. For the dining area, a decorative ceiling light placed over the table provides a pleasant and balanced light, avoiding glare and creating a cozy atmosphere.
Other factors such as color temperature and light direction are essential in creating the ideal atmosphere. Cool white light, similar to natural light, is perfect for increasing concentration and improving visibility during food preparation. On the other hand, warm light encourages relaxation and can even enhance the dining experience by making food look more appetizing.
BORA Horizon and BORA Stars: Lighting Flexibility for Everyday Well-being
With the different variants and adjustment possibilities of the new BORA Horizon and BORA Stars pendant lamps, BORA lighting ensures the ideal lighting atmosphere for every situation.
With its "2 in 1" design, the BORA Horizon linear pendant lamp is ideal for both indirect ambient lighting over the dining table and direct lighting over the cooking area. Thus, both indirect ambient light and lighting can be controlled independently. The height can be adjusted without tools: in the "Fix" variant, the height is adjusted with cable stops in the ceiling housing, and in the "Move" variant, directly on the lamp body, allowing the lighting height to be individually adapted to the kitchen/dining area conditions.
BORA Horizon features four functions that can be operated simply and intuitively through a gesture control: turn on, turn off, dim, change color temperature and decouple the light source from direct or indirect lighting, making washing hands before flipping a switch a thing of the past. The lamp is available in three different colors: elegant black, soothing moss green, and expressive rose gold.
Meanwhile, BORA Stars, with its variable system, adapts to each space’s configuration. This system allows creating a starry sky lighting ambiance, ideal for special dinners or family gatherings. The BORA Stars pendant lamps are installed suspended over countertops, the cooking area, or the dining table and integrate discreetly and elegantly into the kitchen space.
Both lamps are available in colors like elegant black, soothing moss green, and expressive rose gold.
It’s not just about illuminating a space but creating an environment that promotes comfort and connection. Thanks to solutions like BORA Horizon and BORA Stars, it is possible to achieve personalized lighting that adapts to the emotional and functional needs of each moment of the day, thus enhancing the experience at the heart of the home.
