The Stream

The Stream

Located in London’s Mayfair, renowned for high-end design homes and offices, the Aldford Street residence is a unique case of former office building turned into private residence featuring 7 bathrooms, a white-onyx spa, hand-painted and embroidered wallpapers, a glass lift shaft – and a bespoke lighting, The Stream.

Concept

Like a deep and soothing blue ribbon, The Stream entwines the house on London’s Aldford Street. It makes you feel like you’re treading a riverbed. In the shallow shade, in the gleaming surface. In a deep calm, and in a never-ending stream at the same time.

The story behind the light

Sketches

A movement in permanence. Repose in a movement. A flow. Stream.

Production

Manually pulled glass, angle-cut edges. Clean and pure glass-making.

Components

Each of the waves represents in itself a mere drop in the entire work of art. Yet without any of these drops, the entire stream wouldn’t start to flow.

Light in space

A stream. Stream of light, stream of sky-blue water, data stream, stream of cash flowing through the city of London. In this simple and delightful installation, a great many of symbolic meanings are to be looked for and found.

Great thanks

We appreciate all these lit people!
