Veselka

Especially for this project, we are creating a custom chandelier that assembles into such an interesting ball of bottles and is an expressive element in the interior. For us, such individual elements for interiors are always an exciting challenge, an interesting game, the rules of which are to use such non-standard things and make it work.

One of the main features is the drink menu above the bar, which we turned into an art canvas with various scenarios: both everyday and for shows. From time to time, the menu is replaced with thematic media art stories that reflect the mood and flavors of the drinks.

We also thought of and implemented another interesting feature. We make a real show out of tasting a signature drink!

When the bartender pours the drink into the glass, a special sensor reads his movements, and this triggers a change in the light scenario throughout the space - the backlight colors of all interior elements change their mood. At the same time, the art canvas above the bar accompanies this performance with an interesting thematic animation.

We have thought out lighting scenarios to make the visitor feel comfortable at any time of the day, and also made custom lamps.

For all of our projects, we create a custom administrative application for the facility that allows customers and facility managers to control the restaurant's lighting directly from their phone, tablet, or laptop. This is made possible by our Expolight Cloud Control System cloud server, which allows you to control all lighting elements from anywhere in the world.

With the hedgehog chandelier, we tested several options with diode strips, but in the end we came up with a completely unexpected solution - to pierce this ball, which is assembled from bottles, with a narrow beam from the ceiling without introducing diodes into the bottle itself. This solution additionally produces very beautiful effects on the walls and floor.
