Lighting design at the dining table of yoga teacher Nicole Konrad

With yoga teacher Nicole Konrad from Wiehl (NRW), we were allowed to realize a very special lighting creation for her new dining area – individually tailored to her as a person, her living style, and her personal needs.

Based on her preliminary photos, our skapetze® lighting consultation selected the appropriate combination and developed a coherent lighting concept together with her. 

The special challenge: A sloping ceiling and a decentralized ceiling outlet – and still, a harmonious multi-pendant light should be perfectly implemented.

The choice fell on:

•  s.luce® Modular multi-light canopy - in combination with  
• s.luce® Orb glass pendant lights

In the blog post, Nicole explains why light plays a central role for her, what she particularly pays attention to in her furnishings – and why skapetze® and s.luce® were exactly the right decision for her.

I am Nicole Konrad Yoga, a specialized yoga teacher and yoga teacher trainer and author for yoga. Yoga has been an integral part of my life for over 20 years – and I teach it with a lot of experience and sensitivity. It is important to me that yoga not only works on the mat but also strengthens and stabilizes you in everyday life.

I work calmly, clearly, and practically, so that you can sustainably find your balance. My goal is for you to feel more connected, powerful, and internally free.

The quality of a space is particularly important to me. Clarity, calm, and harmony form the foundation of a coherent sense of space for me. 

A thoughtful lighting design plays an important role, as it connects architecture, furnishings, and atmosphere into a harmonious overall picture.

The initial situation: 

Lots of wood combined with a straight-cut room. Light now has the task of stylishly highlighting warm tones.

Despite the sloping ceiling, light should be moodily suspended.

For me, furnishing and light primarily mean one thing: creating atmosphere. My home is the place where I find peace and can sort my thoughts – that’s why structure, clarity, and a calm basic mood are important to me. This is where light plays a huge role.

Well-placed light can open up spaces, convey calmness, and focus attention on what is essential. I like it when lighting is not only functional but also conveys a feeling: warm, harmonious, and at the same time clearly defined. It’s not about perfection for me, but about a conscious, tidy ambiance that gives strength and inspires me.

Light is for me like a silent design element – it changes the effect of a room without many words, but with a lot of impact.

The company was highly recommended to me – and this recommendation has been confirmed from the very beginning. 

The collaboration was characterized by professionalism, a high standard of quality, and a keen sense for details, so I always felt very comfortable and well taken care of.

A "round thing" in the truest sense of the word! The circle represents for me softness, harmony, and balance. 

It is not directional but connective, creating a natural calm in the room. While clear lines provide structure, order, and orientation, round shapes set a gentle counterpoint. 

They take hardness and severity out of the design, make transitions appear smoother, and create a feeling of balance.

For me, this shape is more than a design element: The circle becomes a silent symbol of balance, continuity, and a calm, flowing energy that noticeably shapes the space.

The exchange was consistently very pleasant. The communication was always quick, friendly, and reliable. 

My questions were answered clearly and competently, so I always felt well-informed and well cared for. Overall, the communication was at a very high level.

Both the delivery and the communication went absolutely flawlessly and smoothly. 

The assembly was somewhat more complex due to the light, but it could be implemented well.

In the end, the effort was worth it – the result is convincing and fits harmoniously into my dining area.

Yes, definitely. skapetze® and the brand s.luce® have proven reliability and high quality and presented well-thought-out products. 

The combination of professional service and high-quality lights is convincing and worth recommending! :-)
