Light before furniture

Light before furniture

Furniture arrives last when the room already knows how to hold light.

A room that is already correct in light rarely needs many objects. Furniture can complete a plan, but it cannot rescue one that never learned how to hold the day.

Sequence

We photograph before the chairs arrive when the brief allows it. That image becomes a measure for later decisions: if the empty room is weak, the sofa will not save it.

Field note

On site, stand where the visitor will pause. If the light is working, leave it alone. If it is not, change the aperture of the building before you change the furniture list.
