As every home needs lighting options for different times during the day, it is quite crucial to pay your attention to modern lighting before the coming Christmas. If you’re passionate about modern decor and interior design, then chances are that you’ll also want to find modern lighting for your entire home. There are plenty of modern lighting options, including modern bedroom lighting, modern dining room light fixtures, and modern bedside lamps. Modern lighting has features that are characteristic of modern design, including clean, geometric lines and perfectly shaped circles and ovals. The best modern lighting enhances the rest of your decor and helps you establish a cohesive look across your home. CovetED Magazine chose this time the Russian lighting brand to know what key notion of contemporary trends they suggest and work with. L-Cube is a light design company based in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. L-Cube Saint-Petersburg answered some of our questions and we want you to check out the answers. Find out everything about the key points of lighting design of team L-Cube
CovetED Magazine: To be in love with our work is always the key to achieve better results. Are you in love with this job? What do you love most about being a lighting designer?
L-Cube: We are lighting designers and we make complete service to the customers: lighting design, delivery and installation. We make both, outdoor lighting and interior lighting. We can work in 2 directions: being the authors of the light design (what usually happens in case of public projects) we make lighting concept, we choose the proper lighting fittings, we make lighting calculations and we give the 3D simulations to the customer. When the concept is accepted we make lighting design drawings, delivery and installation.
On the other hand, if we are working with designers, we invite them to our office and we present them many catalogues. We help them making their choice in luminaries, make lighting calculations and the delivery of the fittings.
CovetED Magazine: Do you have a favorite project or a favorite story about one of your projects?
L-Cube: We would say that Evolution Tower is our favorite project. We began working on it in 2012 and we still are. It is a long story project, very interesting, and complicated, I would say. There are many different areas illuminated there, the project had many stages.

CovetED Magazine: How important is to have the perfect chemistry between you and your clients in order to achieve the best results?
L-Cube: Of course it is important. It is important to understand the client, to listen to him. And of course you have to be a person who know what he does. The customer should believe you. And the best way to gain belief is to be right, to prove it on life examples… So the most important things are experience in your work and being able to talk to people, to communicate. You don’t have to be aggressive, you just need to be helpful. The customer hires you not to be proved in anything, he hires you to get help and support and of course to get a beautiful lighting (and not to be proved something).
CovetED Magazine: Do you think working with teams is better or worse than working alone? Why?
L-Cube: Yes, we think that working in a team is better. You need to have several opinions at least to choose best one or to make the best one combining several opinions. And of course the more yes you have the more mistakes you can avoid in the process.
CovetED Magazine: Keep up to date on all the trends is essential for anyone who wants to conquer this market. In what ways do you keep current with new trends?
L-Cube: We visit some of the most popular light fairs, as Light&Building and Euroluce. From time to time factory representatives come to us to make some lectors about their novelties, we watch some interesting events about lighting and design and visit them.

In case we working as a lighting concept designer ourselves, we follow the building or place architecture and try to emphasize it using the light.
CovetED Magazine: All artists need some inspirations to work. So, what or who really inspires you?
