Whenever I see a really cool material used in a ceiling feature, column, petition, etc. I notice that that one material can change the entire atmosphere of your space and the design style/concept. The Ready to Go Solutions use those materials I’m talking about and they’ve created a series of wall features, seating, shelving and lighting out of unique materials, with lighting fixtures inside and vivid colors. The fixtures themselves are art work and the pieces stand alone, with the rest of the room revolving around them.

One of the coolest things I’ve seen done with wood in a long time is undoubtedly the wood design by LUMINOSO. Luminoso is a specially developed wood composite panel, in which thin wooden layers are firmly glued together. Fibre optical waveguides are embedded between the individual wooden layers, which conduct the light. The use of light on various woods like black cherry, oak, black walnut, maple, etc. creates a warm, rich glow to a room- as well as a unique element of natural color.
