  1. Tell us what you like about these images sometimes. Readers like that sort of personal detail. Just a suggestion ;-).

  2. A good suggestion.

    I love the 'playfulness' of these -- the wit and geometrical composition give delight and sparkle to the space. In the context of the space being lit, they light the faces of the occupants, and their size and shape emulate the faces of the occupants and give a real sunniness. And this is with 1906 lighting technology.

    Here's a virtual tour of the interior so you can see how they work as part of the interior.

  3. I like that they let you see in the dark so you don't stub yer fucking toe on the furniture.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
