Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Seven Star Luxury - Paul Miles
Q: Where does lighting guidance fall in the space—does it lead or follow?
Lighting should be embedded in the journey and the brand experience, with emphasis on the point of sale and the atmosphere of each area; it should support and enhance the space rather than dominate or show off individual fixtures.
Seven Star Luxury - Paul Miles
Q: How do you define what elite and luxury is in a hospitality space?
Luxury is about immersion and isolation within a space, with the guest feeling like they are in their own environment, and the design must be understood through the entire journey from concept to final experience, not just the lighting fixtures.
Inside Luminaire Design: Step 1 + 2 - Gary Trott (Acuity), Tom Howe (Kelvix)
Q: What does it mean to not react to demand but generate it in the architectural lighting space?
It starts with truly understanding the problems that a customer is trying to solve and creating innovative solutions.
Inside Luminaire Design: Step 1 + 2 - Gary Trott (Acuity), Tom Howe (Kelvix)
Q: What's the one thing in the architectural lighting industry that people think about that you know isn't true?
People think it's about product, but it's really about service. Differentiation happens based on how you service it.
Luxury Living: Designing Lighting That Sells Itself - Pete Romaniello
Q: What's your direct mentality around the questions you want to ask yourself?
Understanding the space and the construction limits you, and you have to respect the client's needs regarding lighting.
