Recently, our North American team welcomed a group of 13 interior architects from China. The group focused on expanding their knowledge of Lutron lighting control and shades throughout their trip.

The award-winning Artifact Bar, located beneath Hong Kong's BaseHall Central, features an ethereal architectural design inspired by the rhythmic patterns of underground cisterns. The design aimed to minimize carbon footprints by focusing on local production, assembly, and sourcing for 90% of lighting fixtures— and an Athena system optimizes energy efficiency through dimming and timed lighting schedules for off-peak hours.

Last month, we partnered with Ningbo Poli Intelligent Technology Co. and Ningbo Architectural Decoration Association to host designers for an immersive evening at Ningbo Poli’s showroom. They were able to connect with other specifiers, experience the power of Lutron lighting and shades, and enjoy live music.

The architectural essence of 8X8 Design Studio Co.'s “Project Kubo” house is rooted in the bahay kubo, a type of stilt house indigenous to the Philippines. The home's HomeWorks system allowed lighting designers to create "Constellations Showcase" and "Stealth Mode" scenes. The first features a group of small light fixtures with a ceiling layout like stars in the night sky, illuminated to recreate constellations like Cancer, Leo, Libra, and Pictor. In "Stealth Mode," all lights in the house are dimmed to the lowest possible setting.

Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas opened their first Japanese property, the Six Senses Kyoto, in April. Located in the cultural heart of Japan, the hotel’s design was inspired by Japanese folklore and the Heian era—from the Kitsune masks that line the corridors to the courtyard’s Ikebana displays—and it features a myRoom control system.

Sixty-five years ago today, Lutron founder Joel Spira filed the patent for a “dimming device,” a solid-state rotary dimmer that could replace the light switch in a standard residential wallbox. This innovation—the Capri dimmer—launched the lighting control industry. Thank you to the Lutron employees and industry partners who have helped inspire innovation ever since.
