Bespoke artwork by Peter Tunney adorns the foyer with graphic artistry, while a tall abstract sculpture by Kelly Wearstler leads the eye to the distant lush terrace.

Architectural surfaces leader Cosentino partners with award-winning Dubai and London based design practice ANARCHITECT to create ‘Context Reflections’ a public installation at the heart of Dubai Design District (d3) during Dubai Design Week from November 8-13, 2021.
Elaborating on the concept further, Senior Architect Tom Herd from ANARCHITECT reveals “Context Reflections continues ANARCHITECT’s ongoing research into the relationship of natural light, materials, and the importance of context in all architecture and interior spaces we engage in. Given the diverse and unique international settings the Practice works in, the installation concept was developed by our Team for Cosentino to highlight the consistent importance of light and materiality in our work; as well as raise our sustainable collective consciousness by calling for the observation of the contexts that surround us, here purposefully using a low-tech, full-scale analog design tool”.

ADesignStudio created a striking lighting installation for BarLume, a café restaurant in the ground-floor lobby of Sydney’s prestigious new commercial tower 1 Denison. The installation is a rhythmic array of 90 hand-blown frosted glass spheres that drop three meters from the black-mirrored ceiling, providing a soft atmospheric glow to the café restaurant below.
Alex is fascinated by the technical qualities of a lighting fixture and the ambient effects of the diffused light. “I try to capture light within a material without the light source being visible,” he explains. For BarLume, in collaboration with BatesSmart and Electrolight, Alex designed a handblown glass sphere with a frosted fade and a lens system that conceals the LED from view. Sandblasting the glass achieved the frosted fade around three-quarters of the sphere, with the effect creating a sense of freely suspended light.
With 90 glass spheres suspended in a grid arrangement, the installation shines in the double-height lobby. The depth and reflection of the black-mirrored ceiling accentuate the repetition and rhythm of the array and magnifies the 3-meter drop (perfectly coordinated with the surrounding screen). The number and layout of the fittings also allow BarLume staff to position tables where needed as they receive equal illumination.
