Lighting company Philips Lighting, and Institute of Indian Interior Designers (IIID), the nodal body of interior designers in India, have formed an academic partnership to offer a professional certificate course in light and lighting (technology & application) for architects and interior designers.
Pune is the first city to offer this three-day certificate course for the members of the IIID Pune Regional Chapter. Philips will conduct this course in different IIID chapters across India and will provide the course curriculum, content, faculty support, product samples and other teaching aids.
Mr Sumit Joshi, Senior Director, Marketing, Philips Lighting India, said, “Light today is no longer purely functional, something to switch on and off as required. Today, light is being used in all sorts of ways to create the desired backdrop to our lives, whether to relax and unwind, to play, or to work, lighting can be used to create the right mood and ambience. With this MoU, we hope to enhance the interior designers’ and architects’ ability to bring together both art and science of lighting and give the perfect finishing touch to their work.”
