A BIID Award shortlisted project, and one we're proud to have played a part in.
We're delighted to have collaborated with Tibbatts Abel on Vraic, a restaurant in Guernsey recently recognised with a BIID Award shortlist.
Working alongside the design team, we helped create a bespoke feature fitting inspired by the movement of seaweed, reflecting the restaurant's coastal setting and identity.
Although the installation appears to be glass, it was actually made from acrylic. Why? Because great lighting design is about more than aesthetics.
By carefully selecting materials, we achieved the designer's vision while creating a solution that is safer, more durable and better suited to a busy hospitality environment.
While we specialise in bespoke oversized feature lighting, our involvement extended beyond the statement piece. We supplied all the lighting throughout the restaurant, including the functional elements that help shape the atmosphere and enhance the guest experience.
From track lighting and spotlights to exterior lighting, every detail was carefully considered to complement the interior design.
It's a great example of design, engineering and manufacturing working together to turn an ambitious concept into a practical solution without losing visual impact.
Congratulations to Tibbatts Abel on this well-deserved recognition.
