Sometimes apartments don’t always come with the right amount of windows. This means daylight is scarce. Daniel Rybakken is a young designer from Sweden. Living in Northern Europe, a place where natural lighting is limited throughout the year,Daniel studied the effects the lack of light has on people. As you probably already know, sunlight is associated with happiness for physical reasons also. His recreation of daylight could have a very positive effect on unconsciously changing the mood of the people looking at its effects. Moreover, as we already stated, this is a wonderful idea for tight spaces with no windows. His project was present at the Salone Satellite 2010 Milan and is nominated for the “The Swedish Design Award”. Nice going!-via Yatzer

So he wants me to run up my already high electric bill with this contraption? Hell naw!!!
Hahaha…that’s quite a comment! I agree with that!
True, the energy is questionable… BUT I know what it feels like to live in a place with not enough sunlight! It’s almost enough to make you sick. BUT (second but) an artificial sunlight beam still wouldn’t do it for me, I think.. Nothing replaces gorgeous Mr. Sun!
Check out Olafur Eliasson for contemporary light-centered northern art too!
I thought it was a girl in the picture
I’m not sure this would use a ton of energy? Anyway, to anyone who thinks this won’t help…depending on the kind of bulbs being used, yes this can and most likely will help. I used a therapy lamp bought from a pharmacy with bulbs that simulated the strength of the sun–these things work. Pricey though…
