Kandabi - Wall lighting to match your New Year resolutions
An Edinburgh based directional lighting design studio helps you stay on track with your New Year resolutions through visually compelling and full of symbolism statement wall luminaires designed to catch the eye, tease the brain and put a smile on your face.
New Year's Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming year. It's a time to reflect on the changes we want (or need) to make and resolve to follow through on them. If your New Year resolutions happen to be amongst 2011 Top 10 Resolutions, Kandabi's unique and full of symbolism luminaires could be the one permanent 'billboard' adding drama and character to your walls, whilst acting as a constant reminder of your new life mantra.
If your New Year resolution is for instance a noble commitment "to stay true to yourself and be mindful of others", then Kandabi's "The 4th Monkey" high impact wall piece is the answer to your prayers. Inspired by the universal pictorial maxim of the three Japanese monkeys, this quirky wall piece acts a visual word of wisdom based on the ancient proverb of "See no Evil, Hear no Evil, Speak no Evil". A fourth monkey, lost over the centuries, covering his crotch, and symbolising the principle of "Do no Evil", has been resurrected and 'abstractly' depicted in this wall luminaire by the deliberate placement of the light source in the middle monkey's abdomen.
If your New Year resolution is however the very popular "to enjoy life" to the full, there is no better way to start you off than Kandabi's "LOVE" luminaire. Inspired by Robert Indiana's iconic work first created for a Christmas Card for the Museum of Modern Art, LOVE has become an universal symbol with strong visual recognition.
Finally, if your New Year resolution happens to be either "to become more assertive" or indeed "to spend more time with family and friends", then Kandabi's "Facing Koi" may be just the ticket. In Japan a "koi", or carp fish, is a symbol of love and friendship. In Buddhism the twin fish represents strength of purpose and courage in the face of adversity.
Humans "swim" through the "ocean of suffering" without fear, just as fish swim through water.
