A Design Journey: Jean-Louis Deniot Design advice: "Lighting is the magical element that brings everything together. It's part of the layering that generates the overall atmosphere. You can hide or emphasize specific areas giving coherence, depth, and density to emphasize the elements that together create the perfect ambiance for every situation. It's like sculpting again." — Jean-Louis Deniot In a villa near Porto-Vecchio in Corsica, Jean-Louis Deniot was inspired by the local landscape.
