About project

Here in the interior, the feeling of a clean, bright space is achieved by combining Japanese and European styles. All functional lighting in this project was developed by Expolight production.

The shadow kinetics in one of the halls have an mesmerizing effect on a person - smooth waves on a static ceiling spread out, shimmering in a soft glow.

In the interior, the designers used many unusual textures, so, in revealing them, we worked a lot with directional light.

The shadow kinetics in one of the halls have an absolutely mesmerizing effect on a person - smooth waves on a static ceiling spread out, shimmering in a soft glow. In the interior, the designers used many unusual textures, so, while revealing them, we worked a lot with directional light.

For this restaurant, we created exclusive chandeliers that were blown from glass. In the process, we experimented a lot with color, because at first these chandeliers had to be white, and later they were given a yellow tint. A similar chandelier is available in the catalogs of one of the Italian factories, however, significantly differing in cost, it is available only to a limited number of buyers.

Some ceiling lights are placed at horizontal angles, and in this case, there is a high probability that their glow may be blinding. This required finding the right placement points and developing special light-blocking canopies, which made the comfort of visitors absolute.
