Track lights make a comeback

by wasanabod Architecture, Interior Design, Lighting

You probably remember them from Home decor magazines of the 80s, Track Lights were excessively used in that era both commercially and in residential interiors. Now they make a strong comeback being used as a reference for contemporary, modern design.

With their practicality, elegance, and soft distribution of light across longer distances using only one electrical box like regular lighting fixtures use, they gain more audience.

Basically, they can be used to illuminate a certain wall or feature in your room, giving it a “Museum effect” to highlight it. Moreover, they can be used to distribute general illumination, simply depending on the requirements of your space.

Renovation Project in Trélex, Switzerland

by wasanabod Interior Design

Recently, Motif №39 finished a renovation project in Trélex, Switzerland. Redesigning the central core of a 3 story villa originally built in 1820, and turned it into a separate residential unit spanning 3 floors. The concept was originally made by Architect Florian Alberti, but Motif №39 was responsible for the Interior Design and 3D visualization. One of the major challenges was the fact that the project had very few windows_ and no possibility to make new openings due to sensitive Historical-Classification of the villa_, so a decision was made to maximize the existing openings (mostly exterior doors), use transparent indoor-partitions and increase the usage of mirrors where it was effective.

Apartment Renovation in Stockholm

by wasanabod Interior Design

A medium-sized 66 sq.m. apartment was the location for this new project of Motif №39. The design proposal was inspired by the client´s personal collection of Gösta Adrian-Nilsson´s art, as the conceptual idea was to travel back in time to the epoch when the artist was active, borrow certain interior design expressions from that time and reuse them in a new, modern appeal. The result was a mixture of Mid-Century Modern and Scandinavian Style, with focus on classic design, neutral/ earth-toned palettes and relaxed feeling.
