Do details still serve design, or have they taken over? In this episode, Dan and Srushti of Lam Partners trace the history of lighting details — from Versailles to tape lights — and reveal how we arrived at today’s identity crisis in design.

They cover:

• Why don’t more products mean better work

• How culture and politics shape design choices

• The rise (and overuse) of “non-details” like slots, coves, and planes

• What today’s market trends say about the future of lighting

Straightforward, sharp, and unfiltered — this is a must-listen for anyone rethinking the role of details in modern design.
