Light Study
Morning light filters softly through expansive windows, illuminating fabric textures. In the evening, integrated LED strips create an internal glow from the fabric panels. This internal light contrasts with the deepening tones of the surrounding drapes.
Living Vignette
A hand traces the coarse weave of a freestanding screen, adjusting its position slightly. Footsteps sound softly on the new oak floor as one moves between defined zones.
