Abstract

Lighting plays an important role in the enhancement of atmosphere in a house. It provides not only a luminous function, but also experiencing pleasure in the space. This study investigated the type of pleasure and its factors towards lighting. An interview was conducted to collect the responses of pleasurable feelings from 10 participants. From 250 images, 10 were extracted as stimuli for the interviews. Data analysis was used to group key sentences obtained from the responses and the results produced 7 factors which could be categorized into four types of pleasure: Appearance, Interactive, Reflective, and Novelty Pleasure. Among them, the responses related to appearance pleasure were mentioned most frequently and could elicit a consumer's pleasure, which also confirm Creusen's theory. The four pleasures can associate with Jordan and Norman's pleasure/ emotion. Particularly mentioned, novelty pleasure is distinguished from other two theories. Designer can utilize four types of pleasure in designing a lighting with pleasure as possible.
