Federico Stefanovich’s 1920s Studio Becomes a Showcase for His Lighting
Mexican lighting designer Federico Stefanovich, known for his expressive metal lighting, has worked with local interiors firm Nama Studio to renovate his studio in a hotel-turned-arts building in Mexico City’s Centro neighbourhood.
The Moonza view
Lighting is not only for seeing; it creates mood. A well-designed pendant over a meeting table or a wall light in a lobby can catch the eye as much as an artwork. This designer’s studio shows that the fixtures themselves can be the focal point of an interior.
Office lighting works in three layers: ambient light for the whole space, task light on desks, and accent light for the lobby, artworks or shelving. Warm light in reception and executive rooms feels welcoming, while brighter, neutral light in work areas supports focus.
- Plan ambient, task and accent lighting separately
- Place a statement fixture over the meeting or reception desk
- Warm light for hospitality, neutral light for work areas
