| Jun Escario Holiday 2011 Window Display |
I’ve made some light fixtures for my home in the past few years. Recently however, I was commissioned to design and fabricate a window display and incidentally decided to have lanterns in it.

Jun Escario’s atelier is already one of the best lit stores in Greenbelt, Ayala Center. It is the Goldilocks of lighting: Not too bright, not too dim, ample warmth… Just right. Even though this was the case, I proposed to place lanterns in its window to have the warmth glow further, i.e. towards the passing customer.
Working on another window and merchandise display for the holidays, I’ve observed that so many windows are poorly lit, giving injustice to the merchandises’ sparkle, detail, silhouette, color or whatever makes their goods good. (Why don’t these windows have spots at least?).
Hence the use of lanterns. Besides the vision of festiveness and elegance combined, and the glow reaching the customer... The light surrounding the mannequin would illuminate, create shadows and reflect light on the luxury of details.

Jun wanted the window to be streamlined compared to his previous showcases. So initially planned floor elements of painted dried leaves and Christmas balls were taken out, leaving the displayed gown as the center of attention.
