Lightings strike

The design concept is called The Flash. “Imagine the moment when lighting strikes. The moment when shining lines cut the sky and grow further until they visually touch the ground. The light lights up the surroundings and the wave of energy and ozone can be felt in the air,“ says Wanda Valihrachová about her initial idea for the project.

Design story

“I wanted to capture the clear lines of light, the speed of the wind and the smell of electricity in the air during a storm. I wanted to capture all of this and materialize it in a lighting installation tailor-made for the exquisite interiors of the Equinox Hotel,” adds young designer.

Modern technology

This project is made from special lighting tubes with customized LED chips. LASVIT’s engineers had found a way to bend these tubes, and thus opened a whole new space for possibilities and creative solutions. The tubes can change colour, so it is possible to set the mood of the space differently each time.
