They figured out how to turn these industrial inconveniences into original "chips" for their interior.
Etymologically "loft" from English is an attic, an upper room. This style as a residential interior was born in the States, in the 30s and 40s, and immediately became very popular in the creative environment, primarily due to its democratic nature.

Safety parameters are incredibly important, as loft interiors are characterized by "deliberately not hidden details" - wooden structures, beams, electric wires.
Of course, there are many options for zoning a space with the help of light - these are directional lamps, and "hidden" diffused light, and floor lamps, and wall lighting.
