The lighting concept focuses, not on light, but on enhancing the view of the sunset, bridging the distance between the hotel and the horizon. Thus, the outdoor spaces are open and introvert at the same time.

Canaves Oia is a chain of boutique hotels that focus on a minimalistic luxury concept inspired by the basic aspects of the Cycladic landscape and way of life. The lighting concept for its latest addition, the Epitome, deals with the essentials with a finite number of lighting points that are strategically placed to minimize glare and highlight the basic spatial elements of the outdoor areas. In the interior, the lighting fixtures were designed in collaboration with K-studio and manufactured exclusively for Canaves Oia Epitome. Their sleek design comes in contrast with their raw blackened brass matt finish.
