he Balfegó gastronomic project responds
to the need to create a thematic space Tdedicated to Bluefin Tuna. Each space represents either water or ship, and is designed
for the user to enjoy multiple views and interact
with their environment. Working along with the
interior designers and chefs, the goal was to create
different immersion levels of the user with the water
atmosphere. This was achieved by a lighting design
based on dynamic light that resembles the sun
filtered by water, or the different tones of light on a
boat, in order to enhance the gastronomic experience.
The main hall functions as a restaurant, where the
dynamic light receives the diner and invites them
to learn more about the Bluefin through a central
piece: the school of fish, composed of 88 units of
customized Led spots with warm filters (2700K),
placed down the central room, illuminating more
than a hundred-acrylic fish hanging from the ceiling,
forming a circle. With fish swimming in space, and
waves surrounding the scene, everyone is welcome
into an immersive world.

\ 8 LEDinART GEORGE SEXTON “innovative solutions to highlight 190 S. the historic building” La Salle
eorge Sexton Associates provided lighting design
services for the grand three-story high lobby spaces at G190 S. La Salle. They worked with Krueck + Sexton Architects and Tishman Speyer Properties to revive this Class-A
office building located in downtown Chicago. Originally designed
by Philip Johnson in the 1980s, the purpose of this work was to
preserve the building’s historic design while finding innovative,
seamless, cost-effective, value conscious, and sustainable
solutions to highlight the interior architecture. The original gold leaf
ceiling was brought to life by integrating LEDs into the cornices. In
addition, the large cast bronze grilles in the main lobby and elevator
lobbies were repurposed into backlit “windows” to balance the
contribution of daylight and enhance the symmetry of the space.
The original decorative fixtures were rejuvenated with modern
satine lenses and LED sources to reduce glare and infuse the
space with diffuse light. The integration of LED lighting in historic
lanterns and grilles involved meticulous detailing and extensive use
of mockups for evaluation of lighting systems. The project was
designed to meet ASHRE 90.1-2013 energy code requirements,
with allowed lighting power density of 0.88w/sf (8.8 w/SQ M).
The lighting design provided for the lobby highlights the sculpture
by Anthony Caro, Chicago Fugue, which was inspired by musical
instruments and constructed on-site in 1987.

The concept of Casa Alitalia project by Marco Piva Studio in
Rome Fiumicino, inaugurated in June 2018, was to create an
environment with a homey feel rather than of a public space,
with areas arranged like a house. In Casa Alitalia a large doorway
leads into an Italian building, a passage that takes guest from the
chaotic airport environment into a calm, sophisticated space.
The lighting has been designed to enhance the quality of the
materials and the colors of the spaces. A punctual and modular
use of light sources, the contrast between different materials
and Made in Italy furnitures have been chosen to guarantee
quality and durability as well as beauty and harmony.

Light & Studio illuminated different areas of the factory for their new use as a co-working space. LIGHTELAR Lightelar was created to build a bridge between tradition and innovation, between the old and the new; the tapestry factory REAL FABRICA that has been working since 1721 and the co-working space for innovation companies that was recently launched. DE TAPICES The design is based on more than 200 meters of opalescent
methacrylate tube installed at different heights to create those
crosses that remind us of the tapestries that are being woven
in the rooms next door. The tubes are traversed inside by digital
LED strips controlled point by point to make different scenes and
paths with light. By means of 3 controllers of 64 universes each
connected to a software that launches the images in real time.
The programming is integrated into a control system with a
personalized graphical interface to facilitate the control of the
digital LED and merge it with the rest of the conventional lighting
and the audiovisual room. This allows to create synchronized
shows with the audio, video, digital led and Dali lighting of the
room that enables users to handle, through a touch screen, both
the digital lighting and the rest of the lighting in the room.
More than 50 scenes have been created between fixed and

garage for its staff members on the campus. Completed in
the summer of 2017, a subterranean space for more than 800
bicycles was created which forms an impressive architectural
site. Inspired by the Brazilian architecture of Lina Bo Bardi,
the elongated underground space is enclosed by corrugated
concrete walls, while the exposed concrete ceiling and the PU
flooring display a deep blue hue. The organic design vocabulary
of the ribbed wall is continued in 16 large circular ceiling
recesses, which tangibly enhance the relatively low ceiling
height of 2.80m relative to the hall-like space. In each ceiling
recess, the lighting concept allocates oversized diffuse ring
luminaires with a stately exterior diameter of 7m.
The 16 luminous “wheels” are the result of a complex custom
luminaire development. The design goal was to provide the
general illumination through the striking graphic element of
the light collars, thus immersing the space and the elaborately
corrugated exposed concrete walls in a gentle light. Each
bespoke luminaire consists of an annular slanting shell of white sadsa translucent PMMA, which has been divided into 12 individual segments. The light source consists of an LED ribbon with a

he store design celebrates Estonian culture and natural heritage Location: Tallin, Estonia Tthrough a shopper journey modelled on a fairy tale walk through Date: June 2018 Photo: The Design Solution, a forest. The main 800sq m duty free store incorporates Tallinn’s first Moodie Davitt Report walk-through format and the core categories (liquor, P&C, confectionery, tobacco, fashion & accessories) offer a strong local brand presence.
The revamp is intended to express a strong local flavour. The design of the main free store was envisaged as absolutely integral to the airport’s pledge to be “the world’s cosiest airport”.
The aim was to make it cosy - with a commercial edge. The store journey is themed as a forest walk, including wonderful semi-private seating areas that provide a break in the walk.
These are decorated with themed backlit graphics in a traditional woodcut style that echo classic fairy tales, the woodcut elements continue through to the carefully selected regionally sourced, designed and manufactured wooden pendants .

asa Teo is a project of Chef Enrique Olvera, a renowned chef in CMexico City which created a space for developing new ideas around the dinning table. The table, the tablecloth, the dishes, the
cutlery, the utensils, are the main elements that make up the central
experience of this place. A place of gastronomic experiences.
The lighting project was based on the tablecloth. That sensory mantle
of touch luminously accompanies the space in the form of a luminous
object and diffuse light, enveloping the residence in a dim light.
