This is a kinetic lighting installation we made in a restaurant in Sofia called "Cosmos" (or in our language "Космос"). More specifically, it is a spatial kinetic light installation mimicking planetary movement corresponding to a venue’s concept. Each planet/sphere travels in space on a preprogrammed route, thus creating, along with the rest of the planets, beautiful patterns which create a soothing experience for the guests of the restaurant while they enjoy its menu.
We build the system from scratch. All the modules are custom made. Not a single stock element was used. We had to design, build and assemble all the parts (consisting of more than 4500 elements). Then we designed and manufactured custom-made PCBs with a specially written software embedded into the micro-controllers inside each of them.
Following the venue’s design concept, we produced a unique visual installation which, combined with the rest of the interior and supported by specially selected music, together with the exclusive menu of the restaurant, creates a unique cosmic experience for its guests.
p.s. We are proud to announce, this project is shortlisted in "Lighting" category at Restaurant and Bar Design Awards 2017 (London).
