Cuaik | CDS has shared photos of an apartment interior they designed in Ciudad De México, Mexico, that uses hidden lighting to create a warm atmosphere.

Working together with Grupo Cuarit, the designers infused the space with bespoke wood carpentry and thoughtful illumination. In the entrance hallway, visitors are immediately greeted by a sculpture by K de Kilo, crafted from mango tree wood.

The open-plan living room serves as the heart of the interior and was designed to create inviting spaces perfect for socializing with friends and family. The hidden lighting showcases the ceiling detail, as well as the decor on the shelves.
