Client Need
A sculptural and elegant light installation which would impact the lofty ceiling and restaurant scale, sitting above the cocktail bar, interpreted as a piece of art.
Given the multiple dining areas within the restaurant it was vital the installation be viewed and appreciated at multiple angles; at bar level, viewing the inside gold frames of the circular mesh sculptures, to viewing the blue mesh sides and movement in the structure at mezzanine level.
Challenge
The lighting installation involved suspending multiple heavy custom mesh pendants, each requiring individual suspension with cable.
