Sphere

Guiding the way into unexplored realms of design, Journey Lighting embraced the challenge of crafting the interior lighting ambiance for Sphere. Upon crossing the threshold, a new world unfolds. The lighting undergoes a metamorphosis with each guest’s arrival, seamlessly intertwining with the Sphere experience. Design choices establish the ambiance, playing a pivotal role from the moment of entry, through atrium activation and showtime, to the transition back into the lively atmosphere of Las Vegas. The reflective black terrazzo flooring forms an imperceptible foundation, where the lighting is ingeniously designed to mirror, sculpting the canvas for the ‘future of entertainment.’

53

At 53, located next to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, art is an integral part of the dining experience.  The sunken double-height main dining room has been crafted to resemble a landscape diorama, which is visible from street level, showcasing a stunning aerial view and revealing a modern, vibrant room that is bustling during the day and glowing at night. Hidden accent lights have been artfully placed high up in the ceiling, illuminating the edges of the custom fin design, creating a beacon of landscape from the street. Minimal metallic pendants have been strategically positioned over the tables, providing human scale to the diners below. Warm, brushed lighting has been thoughtfully integrated throughout the space, adding depth and texture. A unique light art piece, centered on the bar, accentuates the ripple effect on the plaster wall beyond, creating an artistic backdrop to the main bar area.

21 West End Avenue

Tasked with re-imagining residential life on the Upper West Side, the interior design team created an intricate package of amenities and programs – from welcoming dining and gathering spaces with pop-up events, to on-site daycare and an indoor dog park, all located in the belly of the residential tower. The integrated lighting approach throughout ensures that the non-daylit spaces feel inviting and unique. Custom reading lights create a destination in the library, with the glowing wine room and fireplace as a backdrop. The main lobby showcases a custom 3D projection mapped sculpture with precisely lit surfaces surrounding it to not interfere with the visual. In the pool, large dome lights transition throughout the day bringing a connection to the outside while underground.
