37x Dubai: Metaroom

The winner in the Immersive Lighting Project category is Metaroom at the first NFT gallery 37x Dubai.  This is a closed dark room in the gallery of contemporary NFT art, which, thanks to 6 powerful projectors and graphic lasers and Zed Camera and LiDAR sensors, turns into a digital universe that the guest enters.

Sfumato

Hospitality Lighting Design - Sfumato restaurant, located in the top location of Dubai The Opus By Omniyat by ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS.  Here, we not only emphasized the elegant atmosphere with light, but also developed a light-glass sculpture with a caustic effect in our glass-blowing workshop Optical Metaphor.

UNIT.City B15

The winner in the Interior Architectural Illumination category was a Kyiv project - the lobby at UNIT.City B15. Here we made a holographic art sculpture based on Big Data, biodynamic lighting, lighting, and digital avatars that symbolize Unit City's values at the reception. Floor lamps by Yakusha are equipped with Lidar sensors and custom software that turns them into digital animals, symbolizing the futuristic and innovative nature of the park.

YOY

Also, YOY, a Ukrainian restaurant and cultural hub in Dubai, won in the Interior Architectural Illumination category. One of the key features that we have implemented is a media projection on the wall, where we convey basic values and ethnic codes with visual images that are close to every Ukrainian. One of the central elements of the interior is a large nest of a stork, the brightest and most powerful Ukrainian symbol. Using different lighting principles from the inside, we projected the silhouettes of shadows from the twigs onto the floor.

Selyam

Interior Architectural Illumination. Crimean Tatar restaurant Selyam in Kyiv. We enhanced the tactility of natural materials in the restaurant, and also emphasized the living plants with light, achieving picturesque shadows. The lighting is regulated according to daily biorhythms, automatically switching between scenarios.

The following projects were awarded Honorable Mentions:

37x Dubai: The Tree Of Life is a unity of the natural and the super-technological, the physical and the digital, the human and the virtual worlds, in which man is the main creator. We created a special mobile application for gallery visitors to interact with this organic aesthetic form filled with digital beats, dynamic light, and atmospheric music.

Gallery 37xDubai. Professional lighting for a modern gallery that combines classic and NFT Art. The general light is separately adjusted for each zone and function of the space: gallery, art performances, presentations and events. We also installed an additional function - you can choose the desired backlight color, and the ceiling, recursion, and bar are simultaneously repainted in this color.

37x Dubai: The Recursion is an installation with recursion and media content created for it, which are reflected in two glass mirror walls, creating an unusual insta-place.

Renée bistro - Especially for this object and to enhance the uniqueness of the relief, we developed luminaires with super narrow beams. We positioned them in such a way as to create a gliding light and bring out the shadows.

ZMIST is a bar in Kyiv, where we worked on the architectural lighting of the space, used our craft blown glass products with the effect of smoke patterns, extracted dramatic shadows from trees, and created a media art installation on the ceiling with various digital projections.

SOON is a restaurant in Dubai inspired by the Japanese aesthetics of the 1980s. We emphasized the atmospheric details of the restaurant with light and geometric shadows, color shimmer and halo-caustics, for which we developed a luminaire of our own production.
