The lighting creates the feeling of an office lounge with cultural events rather than a common office. Narrow beam 4000K LED wall washers light the white facade, while warm white LED lights mark the bronze curtain wall above the main entrance. Hidden 3000K LED strips guide the audience to the seating area of the theater.

The Sixth Sence

The Sixth Sence is a floor lamp designed for simple tactile control. The base has a cross shape, so the lamp can be placed close to a desk or between pieces of furniture. The switches are set above the shades, within arm's reach of a seated person. One or both shades can be turned on without looking at the lamp. Metal, frosted glass and LED boards are used, so no light bulb needs to be replaced. The finish is matte black with a textured surface that is pleasant to touch. The lamp is collapsible to protect it in transport and reduce packaging.

Inside, adjustable downlights illuminate the fan-shaped wave wall, while linear wall washers brighten vertical surfaces. High color rendering lamps show the colorful opera costumes clearly.
