Right over the reception by the main entrance shines the customized installation of one of LASVIT’s most beloved lighting collections – Cipher, also designed by Yabu Pushelberg. The piece is a celebration of quality craftsmanship and exceptional design. The components are assembled together in a cluster almost five meters in height, with each star-spanning 1.5 meters. At first sight, it looks as if the forked and chaotic stars were slipped onto a thread, but upon closer inspection, one sees the perfection which resonates in each detail of this unique piece. Its delicate hand-blown crystal cylindrical pieces are cut with crisp, clean lines. “The surface decoration was influenced by our fascination and exploration of the way in which etched patterning catches the light. For this project, the versatile nature of these components succeeded in creating a custom 15.5-foot starburst chandelier to make a bold statement in the lobby area,” the designers explained. LASVIT and Yabu Pushelberg first joined forces on a project for the Four Seasons Kuwait, which lead both companies in a new and shared direction.
