We came up with a way of illuminating the whole shape of the curved bar surface, including the bullnose overhang (which is also curved). The finished effect with the pinkish hue from the onyx looks amazing, it screams luxury and produces real theatre, which it needs to do when there is artwork by some of the world’s leading artists hanging on the walls.

Working from (technical) drawings for the timber bar structure, we designed and manufactured an array of light panels that would guarantee a homogenous amount of light across the whole surface. All the light panels can be be dimmed together, so the surface isn’t too light, or too dim, in relation to the ambient lighting.

As we do with all of our projects, once we had the drawings and the brief, we experimented with a few prototypes to make sure we have no cold spots. We then made a full size working mock-up, that we took to site to share with the Sexy Fish design committee for approval.

It’s important that we do it this way so the client can see for themselves that we have overcome all the challenges and created what they have requested.
