Six pieces, with the dimensions that make them what they are

Lightinup - Doha, Qatar
PRIVATE VILLA · DOHA, QATAR

Brass rods and pyrex, 180 centimetres

A chain pendant 180 cm across and 135 cm tall, built from gold-galvanised metal rods alternating with slender clear pyrex glass tubes. The light passes through the glass and catches on the metal.

180 cm diameter · 135 cm height

Lightinup, Hotel Villa Le Maschere
HOTEL VILLA LE MASCHERE

Forty-seven thousand tubes, rung by hand

One hundred and sixty centimetres across, 195 tall, and inside it 47,000 pyrex glass tubes, 5 mm across, threaded by hand one at a time. Chromed structure and rose. That is not a catalogue figure: it is a team's time.

47,000 tubes by hand · 195 cm height

Lightinup - Riyadh
PRIVATE VILLA · RIYADH

Four metres, fifty drops of Murano

A 160 cm chromed steel ceiling plate with recessed spots built in, and fifty drops carrying sixty-five Murano glass helices each. At the centre, a crown of lamps that lights the glass from inside.

4 m height · 50 drops · 65 helices per drop

Lightinup - GEOX headquarters
GEOX HEADQUARTERS

Three metres above the atrium, seventy-five drops

A 140 cm mirror-chromed steel ceiling plate and seventy-five drops with methacrylate helices, mirror-chromed as well. The central rod carries a crown of G9 lamps that backlights the whole mass.

3 m height · 140 cm plate · 75 drops

Lightinup - Vanity, St Petersburg
VANITY · ST PETERSBURG

Five metres seventy-five, in blown glass

A chromed steel rose and a central rod with staggered arms, each loaded with red blown-glass spheres. Light spreads from G9 lamps mounted on rings of different sizes, so no point burns out.

5.75 m height · G9 on rings

Lightinup - Doha, Qatar (5 m)
PRIVATE VILLA · DOHA

A five-metre star, assembled in pieces

Designed as a modular system, because five metres of diameter do not go into a site in one piece: it travels in sectors and the central ring closes after installation. Then the blue blown-glass elements come down.

Questions about delivered sites

What the photos show, said with the measurements.

They are the vertical strings that hang from the ceiling plate: fifty in the Riyadh villa, each carrying sixty-five Murano glass helices; seventy-five at the GEOX headquarters, with mirror-chromed methacrylate helices.

Five metres seventy-five in height for the blown-glass chandelier at Vanity in St Petersburg, and five metres in diameter for the Doha star, which travels in sectors: its central ring closes after installation.

It depends on the piece: at the GEOX headquarters a crown of G9 lamps on the central rod backlights the helices; at Vanity the G9 lamps sit on rings of different sizes, so no point burns out; in the Riyadh villa a crown of lamps lights the glass from inside, with recessed spots built into the plate.

With a specification: it goes to the factory, not to a distributor, and back come the calculation, dimensioned shop drawings, a mock-up room and CE, UKCA, GS and ETL/UL compliance.

In the project gallery: every site with its own page is told space by space, with the pieces we installed there.
