Story behind the product
As a guideline for interior lighting it was determined to concentrate on the using of soft light through indirect lighting rather than direct illumination. Through adjusting the light levels for indirect lighting on walls and ceilings you will optain a variety of degrees of brightness and as result enhance the three-dimensional effect of space and objects. Enigma found its inspiration in Japanese lighting culture and shares the lighting philosophy of glare-free, comfortable light with all other fixtures from Louis Poulsen. Enigma 825 was the first draft delivered by the japanese lighting designer Shoichi Uchiyama.
