Parisia Workspace Lighting

Parisia, my senior capstone project, is an exploration into connecting people with their work environment via sensory engagement and natural cues. Going past the idea of light therapy as a way to mitigate burnout, Parisia employs natural geometries and dynamic light modes to physically influence people’s work habits. With the advent of COVID-19, the project shifted focus from the corporate workplace, to the remote workplace. Suddenly, everyone around the globe was forced to reconsider what working from home means, and faced with the realization that the home environment is not as conducive to productive work as we previously assumed. Like the meaning behind its name, Parisia’s translucent wings open and close like an angel, controlling the level of light exposure for your unique surroundings and experience. Parisia is there to create both an emotional and physical connection between you and your personal workspace, as we all learn to adjust to working in this new era.
