ADesignStudio\u2019s custom lighting installation for BarLume<\/h3>\r\n

A<\/span>DesignStudio<\/a> created a striking lighting installation for BarLume, a caf\u00e9 restaurant in the ground-floor lobby of Sydney\u2019s prestigious new commercial tower 1 Denison. The installation is a rhythmic array of 90 handblown frosted glass spheres that drop three meters from the black-mirrored ceiling, providing a soft atmospheric glow to the caf\u00e9 restaurant below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

ADesignStudio collaborated with architecture firm Bates Smart<\/a> and international lighting design consultancy Electrolight<\/a> to produce the custom lighting.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Alex Fitzpatrick, founder and designer at ADesignStudio is\u00a0fascinated by the technical qualities of a lighting fixture and the ambient effects of the diffused light. \u201cI try to capture light within a material without the light source being visible,\u201d he explains. Alex designed a handblown glass sphere with a frosted fade and a lens system that conceals the LED from view. Sandblasting the glass achieved the frosted fade around three-quarters of the sphere, with the effect creating a sense of freely suspended light. \"The lights also had to be DALI Dimmable and with a lensed LED to assist with the glare,\u201d says Alex.\u00a0Because the installation consists of 90 light fittings, the final design had to consider the installation, maintenance, and LED access over the lifetime of the fitting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Each sphere is on a\u00a03-meter-long solid drop, rather than a cable, with a special mounting system that allows the glass to simply screw off and be replaced or to maintain the fitting. \u201cAs the fittings are quite simple to look at, we also wanted them to feel simple and be user-friendly for everyone who came into contact with them,\u201d Alex says.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

With 90 glass spheres suspended in a grid arrangement, the installation shines in the double-height lobby. The depth and reflection of the black-mirrored ceiling accentuate the repetition and rhythm of the array and magnifies the 3-meter drop (perfectly coordinated with the surrounding screen). The number and layout of the fittings also allow BarLume staff to position tables where needed as they receive equal illumination.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
