LIGHT + BUILDING LOOKS TO FUTURE OF LIGHTING AND BUILDING AUTOMATION

摘要

A new vitality is evident in pre-show publicity from the producers Messe Frankfurt and the exhibitors of Light + Building, set to open April 15-20 in Frankfurt, Germany. The event will no doubt be all about LEDs, in addition to components and intelligent building technology with a roster of 2,100 exhibitors of efficient illumination and related services. Still, designers' imaginations will test new lighting technologies with a variety of decorative items presented in the show's Trend Forum in Halls 5.1 and 6.1. With less emphasis on the light source and more on its presentation, decorative lighting is predicted to optimize such style trends as craftsmanship plus sustainable and natural materials. With elements such as wood and glass central components to many decorative fixtures, observers say a move to Scandinavian design may be apparent.
