In this Ipanema residence, the project’s guiding principle was sophisticated in its apparent simplicity: light needed to be present without its sources being noticed. Invisibility as intention. To achieve this, LD Studio specified fixtures with darklite technology, which eliminates the perception of the light point even when the fixture is on, and developed solutions for integrating lighting into the interiors and cabinetry that would later be adopted by the industry as a benchmark.
