A skylight in your flat

Juniper Foo | Jun 25, 2008

Some of us don't have the luxury of open vistas and picture windows in our tiny cramped hovels. But there's no shortage of companies out there waiting and willing to help you manufacture the illusion (or is that delusion) of having the real deal. The latest of these is NewSky Factory's SkyCeiling, which taps the vastness of nature and space outside your tiny apartment or office cubicle, bringing them indoors. It may all be a mirage, but just how cool is that?

As the sample photo shows, you can have cherry blossoms and clear skies programmed right outside your "skylight", all year round, too. The SkyCeiling uses a DALI-controlled (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) light source that adds color, and can be manipulated manually or via a PC. Each project is customized by specialist Sky Designers, so the reality check here is that owning an illusionary piece of sky in your home won't come cheap.
