Augmented Reality: how it works

Choosing the right lampshades can be a challenge. Will the wood tone match your shelves? Is the scale right for your bedside table? At Boah Nova, we want to remove the guesswork and make your design journey as sustainable and seamless as possible.

What exactly is a Product AR File?

Think of an Augmented Reality (AR) file as a "digital twin" of our handcrafted lamps. It is a highly detailed 3D model that exists in your smartphone.

Unlike a standard photo, which only shows you the lamp, an AR file uses your phone’s camera to "place" the lamp directly into your room. It respects the actual size and proportions of the piece, allowing you to see how the light interacts with your furniture, wall colors, and existing decor.

How to use AR to visualize your space

You don’t need to download any complicated apps or have technical expertise. If you have a smartphone, you already have everything you need.

1. Browse our collection: open the product page of a lampshade you love on our website using your phone’s browser.

2. Look for the AR information: on most of our product pages, you will see a button to "View in your space".

3. Scan your Room: point your camera at the floor or the surface where you want to place the lamp and move it slightly.

4. Position and Rotate: the digital lamp will appear on your screen! You can move it around with your finger, rotate it to see every angle of the wood grain, and walk around it as if it were really there.

5. 
   

Try it now with these examples:

• Visualize the EXAS Wood Ceiling Lamp on your living room ceiling.

• See how the ISONt Wooden Table Lamp looks on your desk or nightstand.

Boah Renova: sustainability through design

Augmented Reality is at the core of the service Boah Renova. We follow a philosophy of Interchangeability and Repairability. We know that many people already have lamp bases they love, or perhaps an old fixture that simply needs a breath of new life. Boah Renova is our dedicated service that allows you to upgrade, refresh, or "renovate" your existing lighting using our handcrafted wooden lampshades. Because our shades are designed for the global E26/E27 socket standard, they can be easily swapped onto bases you already own.

The service Boah Renova allows you to:

• Reduce Waste: give a second life to your current lamp bases instead of buying entirely new fixtures.

• Design with confidence: see exactly how new wooden textures will transform the mood of your spaces before making a purchase.

• Lower carbon footprint: by making the right choice the first time through AR visualization, we reduce the need for returns and the environmental impact of shipping.

Why visualization matters

Lighting is the most atmospheric element of interior design. Our lampshades, handcrafted from wood and finished with eco-friendly water-based varnishes, are built to last a lifetime.

We believe that technology should serve nature. By using Augmented Reality to help you choose the perfect lighting pieces, we are working together to create spaces that are beautiful, and respectful of the planet.
