Have you ever noticed how certain spaces just make you feel calmer, more welcomed — almost like they wrap around you?
Often, the secret lies in how the lighting is designed — and more specifically, in the circular form of the design itself.
Why choose circular shapes?
In design, nothing is random. And when it comes to lighting, circular forms are much more than just an aesthetic choice.
Curved lines and organic shapes are naturally softer on the eyes and create a sense of continuity and flow — the opposite of the harshness and rigidity of straight or angular lines.
Additionally, the light produced by circular fixtures is typically softer and more even, minimizing harsh shadows and creating a balanced visual environment. This is especially valuable in spaces where comfort, focus, or relaxation are key — like hotels, offices, living rooms, or commercial spaces.
Circularity = Natural connection
Did you know our eyes are naturally more accustomed to circular shapes?
From the sun and moon to our pupils and the way light and sound travel — circles are everywhere. Bringing that shape into lighting design creates a more instinctive and fluid connection to the space.
Circles also have no beginning or end. They symbolize continuity, balance, and inclusiveness — values we want to reflect in environments where people feel at ease.
On top of that, curves evoke a sense of closeness to nature. This concept, known as biophilic design, explores our emotional connection to natural and organic shapes, like circles.
That’s why incorporating circular lighting fixtures into interiors can help reduce stress, boost well-being, and even improve productivity, especially in workspaces and social areas.

A circular space is a space that flows
More than just a trend, using circular lighting design is a powerful tool for shaping how people feel in a space.
Whether in a hotel lobby, an art gallery, or a meeting room, circular fixtures like SKY CUSTOM help create environments that feel more fluid, harmonious, and visually striking.
