LIFE IN BALANCE
LIGHTING DESIGN BY ALİ BERKMAN
After our launch of the concept “Life in Balance” in Orgatec 2022, we created a collaboration group of 8 professionals and
made multidimensional explorations of balance in depth. Through the intersecting and diverging perspectives of balance,
we turned the story of B&T House into a collaborative and multidisciplinary project. In this episode, Ali Berkman the owner of
ONOFF Lighting Design Consultants explains “Life in Balance: Lighting Design”. Looking from the perspective of
lights and shadows, he interprets the role of balance in lighting design of B&T House.
“At B&T House, since the space has a high ceiling and
receives a great deal of daylight, we started thinking about
how to establish a balance between natural and
artificial light.”
“Our aim has always been illuminating the furniture
like an art piece, rather than just putting a light on it.
Therefore, we tried to create that dramatic scene
by striking a fine balance between light and dark.”
A DRAMATIC SCENE AS IF BORROWED FROM A STAGE PLAY.
“Each light we positioned within B&T House has a story, mission, and meaning behind,
in terms of social responsibility and energy efficiency and to ensure the balance of
light and darkness that forms the backbone of our concept.”
A FINE BALANCE BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARKNESS.
