Furniture architecture addresses lighting in several ways. First, it considers the placement of furniture in relation to light sources, such as windows or artificial lighting fixtures. This ensures that furniture does not block natural light or cast shadows on important areas. Second, furniture architecture considers the use of materials and finishes that reflect or absorb light. For example, furniture made from glossy materials will reflect light and create a sense of brightness in a room, while furniture made from darker materials will absorb light and create a more intimate atmosphere. Third, furniture architecture may incorporate lighting fixtures directly into the design of furniture pieces, such as built-in task lights in desks or bookshelves. Finally, furniture architecture may consider the use of lighting for aesthetic purposes, such as highlighting architectural details or artwork.
