The door opens into a gallery of multi-dimensional art. It’s mounted on the walls, the ceiling, and even rising up from the floor. It’s displayed on tables and layered in every room. Some have kinetic elements and most are interactive. The mood changes from room to room. Some rooms are spacious and invigorating, others are warm and intimate.
One thing is consistent; this space is inspiring.
Lighting can evoke feeling, enhance design, shape an atmosphere, highlight something special and even alter the size of a room. Light is scientifically proven to impact mood and cognitive functioning.
Four Decades of Light
David Nestor has been in the business of shedding light for 40 years.
Nestor started his business in Denver and through the years says he has seen Colorado Springs blossom with a level of sophistication that excited him about bringing his business to this market. Urban Lights is a gallery-style showroom offering boutique lighting for every space.
The showroom is divided into sections that allow the client to journey from rustic modern, to mountain vogue, to peaceful zen, and into traditional charm. Lighting experts are available to help clients traverse indoor and outdoor needs for a highly personalized experience.
Technology + Design
“Lighting is a fundamental design fixture that can change the perception of a space,” Nestor says.
In his 40 years, he has seen lighting technologies change. Recessed lighting has transformed with beam spread options, switches and dimmers that allow precision within the space. Incandescent has moved toward LED and is breaking the original spectrum of warm and cool light to incorporate color.
LED lighting also reduces heat output, allowing the incorporation of more organic materials like jute, wood, bamboo, alabaster and kappa shell. This elemental change brings the outdoors in and has a grounding effect on the space in the most beautiful way.
Nestor and his team are experts in ambient, accent and task lighting and how each of these can be strategically used to enhance a room both practically and artistically. It’s not a department store experience. It’s not choosing a light to banish the dark in a room or a fan to circulate the air. It’s choosing a functional, impactful piece of art to infuse personality into a space.
Let there be light.
