38 Finsbury Square, London - Illuminated Colour-changing Wall and Illuminated Desk

The Brief:

We were asked to supply lighting to a wall in the reception area of this building. The client wanted an eye-catching and modern design suitable for this refurbished office block. In addition, the client wanted the reception desk panels to be illuminated in a single colour.

The Solution:

The wall is made up of 14 floor-to-ceiling panels of laminated glass behind which we installed panels of Prismex and edgelit each panel with white LEDs. The colour-changing effect has been achieved by laminating dichroic film on to the glass panels - dichroic film is a "mirror" film, which gives the appearance of changing colour as one walks past it. Each panel is set at an angle against the next one so that each panel appears slightly different from its neighbour when moving past it.

The reception desk is made of slabs of black marble on the top with glass panels across the front of it. Again, we installed Prismex panels behind the glass and edgelit the panels with white LEDs.
