For the Penthouse Apartment at the Mexico City Townhouse in Polanco, the Globe is adding character, ambiance and brilliance to the living room.

The black ceramic base, equipped with a smoked clear glass globe and illuminated thru a 4W retrofit LED bulb, amplifies the sparkle. It is found next to the textured concrete wall, atop a credenza by Atraform, in juxtaposition with colorful hand blown glass tumblers by local artisans and underneath the exquisite dress of colorful luminous glass beads, inspired by the Huichol Traditional Female Dresses and created by Polish born, Mexico City based Artist, Xawery Wolski.

For a high-end Resort and Spa project, located along the Mexican Riviera, we had the opportunity to customize the ambient plug in lamps. Working alongside the local craft culture and tradition, yet with a contemporary take on the local and traditional, we managed to create ambient desk lamps, which add character and identity of place while ensuring a welcoming atmosphere within each of the 108 suites.

Six custom pendant lamps are suspended above the long 12 People seating Family table. Two varying shapes are suspended in an array and dance with each other.

The Lampshades form reflects the light to the table with cutting out the glare of the deep sitting low voltage halogen lamp.
The golden light creates an inviting atmosphere with highest CRI performance.

Via three switching circles the large table and focus area can be reduced from the whole length to only an intimate setting for two.

For the optimal illumination of the cooking task area along the stainless steel kitchen counter and island an even yet adjustable down light was wanted. 

Two custom U-profiles, each of specific measurements were proposed, 

1] to create an interesting presence in the very open and airy space, 

2] to ensure the suspension height of the track system with adjustable gimbal rings and low voltage retrofit LED AR111s at a constant height from the top of island

At the non conditioned pavilion at Le Cabanon on Turks and Caicos a customized version of the U-Profile is equipped with the AR111 LED Retrofit Bulbs from SORAA - for its low energy consumption and highest color rendering due to the full spectral color range.

A minimal lighting concept with the light source hidden from view was chosen to illuminate the entry pockets to each of the bedrooms.  The distinct light and beam spread rendering on each of the intersecting ceiling planes creates an engaging illumination pattern on the ceiling plane.
