Lighting possibilities
Dynamic lighting installation
Custom program
Each tree was modelled individually and has its own lighting effect which can be adjusted to create a downward motion, a sparkling forest effect, or even a sense of wind moving through the trees.
Light during the day
In addition to this, the tree trunks can also be illuminated allowing for a night scene, a day scene and a “living, breathing forest” effect that can be pre-programmed to occur each hour.

Other luminaries
Grand ballroom
Preciosa Lighting created four large chandeliers for the Grand Ballroom hall. Their shape reminds us of stalactites with the shimmering effect similar to cave ceilings.
Meeting room
Preciosa Lighting also created 14 modern chyndliers for the complex’s meeting rooms and their foyers.

Client says
The Canopy of Light installation is a true gem for our hotel, respecting local nature. If you find yourself in the desert, everything around you glimmers in a way. Palm leaves glimmer in the sun, water surface glimmers, as so does the rain on leaves. We can say that the hand-blown glass and crystal bring a sense of nature into the interior.
