Space 2 - Art
This is a space to experience artistic lights together.
When visitors enter to the first exhibition room, they would be caught by a sensorial and mystic light inspired by northern light diffused over the entire space. This special effect is created by a new original luminaire launched for the first time in this occasion: “Yume”.

Space 3 - Nature
Next space is to demonstrate a lifestyle to live together with nature, thanks to lighting design.
Even if you don’t have possibility to have a great garden or plants in your living spaces, it is possible to integrate the natural elements virtually thanks to lighting. The world smallest ceiling-recessed video projector is filled with contents reproducing natural relaxing phenomena such as shade of clouds passing through the sky, shadow of leaves in the wood, water movements in the sea or on a water cascade… (Panasonic). These therapeutic images are also accompanied by environmental sound diffused by very compact speakers (Panasonic).
A soothing aroma spread in this space is issued from an extraordinary marriage of Japanese healing scent extracted from organic elements (Japanese cypress etc.) and European fragrance tradition using roses and frankincense (Hirume).
