I'm not averse to incorporating modern elements into older structures and spaces... but this felt (to me at least) a bit forced... perhaps calling too much attention to itself. I prefer when lighting is used with subtlety to enhance a space and render it beautiful... but I'm sure that the former Grand Duchess saw things differently!claypoint2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130813892118656644.post-54579972494101413382014-07-20T21:44:29.002+02:002014-07-20T21:44:29.002+02:00That sounds really interesting about the lighting....That sounds really interesting about the lighting. Are you able to elaborate on it? I generally always wonder how today's changes that are made to palaces will be viewed by generations to come. At the same time, I like when changes are made. Royals 200 or 300 years ago rarely cared what their ancestors had done to the place and simply remodelled it to their own taste. It keeps a castle alive IMO.SydneyLuxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130813892118656644.post-60995679078289540182014-07-17T23:15:28.366+02:002014-07-17T23:15:28.366+02:00You've probably answered this question already...You've probably answered this question already but have you been to tha palais?

It retains the feeling of a family house (albeit a generously sized one) more than of a palace. Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte made some interesting changes to the lighting in partnership with artist Ingo Maurer. Time will tell if these additions will be a lasting representation of their period... or simply a passing fancy.claypoint2noreply@blogger.com
