K11 Musea is an innovative concept that fuses retail with culture, art and gastronomy. The innovative nature of K11 as a cultural destination prompted us into a completely new way of considering the lit retail environment.
Extremes of scale are exaggerated with lit highlights to create a sense of spectacle, balanced by the inclusion of relatable human-scale details. This approach is evident in the Opera Theatre, where our magnificent five-story-high glazed illuminated “Golden Ball” dominates the void.
Miniature cut crystal luminaires cluster and swarm at the edges of the atrium ‘galaxy’, suspended from the ceilings and recessed into the floor.
Each detail we created is distinctive, yet there is a deliberate coherence in the design language and materiality that plays an important role in binding the idiosyncratic spaces of the mall together.
Centred on a bespoke ‘collection’ of luminous objects, our lighting for the interior and exterior public spaces reinforces its character as a visionary creative cultural environment.
To achieve this vision, we created a collection of luminous objects, united by a palette of warm white LED, cut glass and warm-toned metals that provide a comforting domestic-style sense of warmth and sparkle.
Carefully integrated and arranged, light brings energy and dynamism to the Musea, highlighting architectural features and accenting the art installations, while supporting the creative cultural environment.
