Students from the interior design department at Raffles Institute of Higher Education, Colombo will showcase an interior design exhibition inspired by the impact of illumination within a specific environment relating to space, structure and the relationship these elements have with the viewer within the exhibition space.

Interior design student Aleesha Thavarajah explained that as its name suggests, the central theme will focus on the impact light within a given space to create luminosity using day to day materials. She stated that the ‘Illuminare’ exhibition will focus on purity, minimalism and the use of geometric forms to capture specific aspects of focused light.
