Mode Lighting’s Technical Sales Manager Harry Brown will present a talk on lighting control for interior designers at the Forbes & Lomax showroom at the Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour on 11 March 2026. The event forms part of London Design Week.
Lighting Control for Interior Designers
Interior designers shape spaces through materials, colour and texture. Light is just as important. The way a space brightens in the morning or softens in the evening can completely change how it feels. Yet the control of that light is often treated as engineering rather than part of the design.
Harry’s session will explore how lighting control can support designers in shaping the mood of a space. Through simple scene setting, interiors can shift from bright daytime environments to softer evening ambience. Designers can also adjust lighting throughout the day to maintain comfort and visual balance.
The talk focuses on how lighting control helps designers create spaces that respond to changing activity and time of day. Restaurants, hotels, retail spaces and workplaces all benefit from lighting scenes that adapt the environment throughout the day.
Harry will also discuss how control technology can remain discreet within a project. Carefully designed switches and control interfaces allow designers to preserve the visual language of an interior while still giving users flexible control of lighting scenes.
The presentation also reflects the long-standing collaboration between Mode Lighting and Forbes & Lomax. Together, the two companies combine elegant switch design with flexible lighting control systems used across residential, hospitality and heritage projects.
The talk takes place from 2:00pm – 2:30pm in the Forbes & Lomax showroom at the Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour. Visitors attending London Design Week are welcome to join the session and explore how lighting control can help designers create more responsive and atmospheric interiors.
Lighting control isn't technical, it's aesthetic
