light shop


stepping into the interior of a light fixture showroom in andheri is like stepping into a version of paradise. the walls and the ceiling are overrun with glittering glass and crystal; there is light glowing from all around you- even the floor is lit. all around there are string lights for parties, smooth finished ‘modern’ frosted glass lights, lights shaped like the toys of a child, like birds, like petals, like cars, like spaceships, like planetary constellations; there are dazzling ostentatious gilded chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, white tube lights for kitchens, spot lights for picture frames- its scintillating.

at the entrance there is a multimedia experience for sale. a revolving globe ornately carved on a pedestal in a water body also lit from the base. i want that in my future house in a future life.
