Let there be light, but in style
Satori is a pioneering brand for high-end home decor items. TBS reviewed four of its bestselling chandeliers and lamps
Lighting serves a purpose beyond mere functionality because it's also about crafting an atmosphere that is warm, inviting and aesthetically pleasing. In an era predating the advent of electricity and the commonplace use of mundane light bulbs, the "ambience" was often created by the gentle glow of candle-lit chandeliers and lamps.
Albeit a bit dusky, the appeal of aesthetical lights is timeless. If you want to make a statement in your living space, you need a striking chandelier, whereas if you want to amp up your bedroom, a graceful floor lamp or table lamp is what you are looking for.
Opened in 2012, Satori is a pioneering brand for high-end home decor items. All of its products are handpicked and imported from abroad. Currently, they have three branches in the city, two in Banani and the other one in Gulshan.

The metal column and arms lend a sturdy and regal feel to the chandelier while the vase-shaped candle cups provide a classic touch. The floral motifs engraved on the candle vases add a delicate and intricate detail that contributes to the overall beauty of the piece. These motifs could be reminiscent of historical or nature-inspired designs, further enhancing the chandelier's timeless appeal.
The use of pendalogues and prisms introduces an element of sparkle and luxury. As light interacts with these hanging crystals, it creates a mesmerising display of refracted light, filling the space with an array of colours.

The mention of glass rods inside the lamp that produce a dramatic effect when the bulb is lit hints at the dynamic interplay of light and shadow.
