Brief
create a suspended lighting piece consisting of 650 individual batons of light, individually controllable to produce a flowing river through the building.
Acrylicize approached us to manufacture their latest lighting piece for 20 Farringdon Street in London, as part of the redevelopment by HB Reavis. This installation is one of the largest lighting pieces we have ever produced, flowing seamlessly from the entrance portal through the foyer, down to the escalators, and ascending 13 floors via the stairwell. Each light baton is individually controllable, creating a dynamic flow effect throughout the building. The design is inspired by the River Fleet, a subterranean river that flows beneath the busy streets of London.
