As Dezeen's article on Il Gattopardo restaurant quotes: "Soft lighting is diffused through fabric resting between the ceiling beams, which was designed to mimic a sunset. An illuminated onyx bar adds to the warm lighting scheme."

Following the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II last week, Isometrix have made the decision that following the announcement of the public holiday, on the day of the funeral of Her Majesty on Monday 19th September 2022, our offices will be closed as a mark of respect.

Located in the heart of Istanbul, the restaurant spoils its guests in one of its many captivating dining spaces including an open terrace with stunning panoramic views of the the Bosphorus. A well deserved Congratulations! to all the teams involved in bringing all of the different elements of this project to a perfect balance creating an ambiance that makes the world slowly fade until all that's left is stunning views and amazing food!

We are delighted to announce that two of our projects have been shortlisted for this year's Lighting Design Awards. Both The Times Square Edition and The West Hollywood Edition are spectacular developments that are a testament to what great teamwork and collaboration can achieve. Good luck to all of this year's participants!

Christian Liaigre 1943 - 2020 I want to pay a very personal tribute to Christian Liaigre who passed a week ago.  I have known and worked with Christian for many many years.  He was an artistic inspiration and a true design master.   His minimalist elegance his perceptual artistry his attention to excellence and his ability  to create remarkable environments were a gift to his clients and to those of us who were fortunate enough to work with him  Christian was an icon a visionary influencing both his contemporaries and the up and coming generation of designers.  His work has been in my opinion incredibly important and timeless in its impact.In the years I knew him and collaborated with him I learned a lot from him in his ability to distill things to its essence and achieve a simplicity in the design that was elegant and sophisticated.Along with being a great artist, Christian was a great friend.  I cherished my friendship with him.  My heartfelt condolences to his loved ones and his design colleagues in his wonderful firm.   I know they will continue his work and his legacy.Rest in peace Christian.  All of us at Isometrix are thankful for the relationship and friendship we had with you and your teams.   You will be missed but never forgotten.

As Dezeen's article on the gallery accurately quotes: "The building has been designed as an integrated and dynamic space for artists, collectors, curators, gallery-goers and Pace's international team alike".The lighting scheme was designed by our London studio with a focus on making it as adaptable as possible to fit the dynamic nature of the space, whilst maintaining a complex level of control over both light levels and color temperature and keeping it all discrete and hidden from view.

Isometrix Lighting Design + Martin Brudnizki Design Studio declared winners of the UK Lighting Category at this year's Restaurant and Bar Design Awards.The Restaurant & Bar Design Awards now in its eleventh year is a globally recognized competition dedicated to the design of food and beverage spaces.Judged by a panel of some of the most influential personalities in design, hospitality and lifestyle globally, this annual edition of the Awards attracted over 1000 entries from the UK and 70 other countries. In the words of Aqua Group founder David Yeo ‘The lighting designer had to deal with many lighting scenarios that were all handled with great attention to detail that matched the theme of each room.’

Isometrix were delighted to be a part of the lighting collaboration for the Antony Gormley Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts. Working directly with Antony, the design brief was to use daylight to maximum potential.  When daylight is not an option, to achieve homogeneous shadowless lighting throughout the exhibition that will allow the sculptures to shine without any light being shone directly on them. The RA's architecture and massive skylights were instrumental in achieving this goal but they were also the source for some of the project’s greatest challenges. Building a 156 sq meter skylight is a challenge in itself but making it completely comply with the brief, meant there were even more obstacles to overcome. The 13m x 12m custom built skylight (pictured above) for "Clearing VII " allows natural light to flood the space during the day and evenly lights it up when daylight becomes insufficient.  For other spaces, track lights with special optics were used to create wall washes that blend seemingly with natural light, tacitly engulfing the space in thousands of lumens of warm white light. We are passionate about light and its ability to enhance the special flow of a building and we could go on writing about it indefinitely.   There are no amount of words or images that can truly describe the experience of the meeting of great architecture, good lighting and the work of an amazing artist such Antony Gormley.
