The theme of this project is the modern interpretation of chandelier. This is a modern and simplified way of execution, yet still achieves the stunning and glamorous effect that you see in traditional chandeliers. - Jonathan Leijonhufvud Architectural Photography
These glass bricks also turn into wall sconces that decorate the walls. - Jonathan Leijonhufvud Architectural Photography
Entering the hall of the cinema, we designed the same custom lamps in the style of hanging chandeliers. Groups of chandeliers were installed from the ceiling, making the lobby space no longer monotonous. They also highlight the originally tall ceiling of the space. - Jonathan Leijonhufvud Architectural Photography

The theme of this project is the modern interpretation of chandelier. This is a modern and simplified way of execution, yet still achieves the stunning and glamorous effect that you see in traditional chandeliers. These glass bricks, in combination with metals, are shimmering above people’s heads. They also turn into wall sconces that decorate the walls. At the same time, the permeability of the glass and the special reflection formed by the glass create a stronger visual impact. The blurred light and elongated shadows work together to give the audience a mirage-like optical experience. 

At the junction of the cinema space and the public space, we extended the design theme ‘chandelier’ in this area as well, designed it as the background wall of the cinema, and matched it with custom-made glass lamps - the light reflecting the glass, showing a crystal-like sparkling effect. The custom-made lamps are spread out along with the arc-shaped wall, and the various heights further highlight the characteristics of the ‘Cinema Palace’ brand. 

Entering the hall of the cinema, we designed the same custom lamps in the style of hanging chandeliers. Groups of chandeliers were installed from the ceiling, making the lobby space no longer monotonous. They also highlight the originally tall ceiling of the space. The wall is matched with the V-shaped glass, which creates a different visual experience. 

We continued this design theme ‘chandelier’ in the bathroom. We custom-made characteristic linear lighting which decorated the whole space. They allowed the entire space to be displayed in front of you in unity. At the same time, this continuity of light lengthens people's subjective vision, making the originally small space extend into ‘infinity’, forging an unreal illusion. The audience can see the design concept ‘chandelier’ throughout the whole cinema space. By using the contrast of various colours, materials and lighting, we created an interesting and rich space, so that the audience feels like they are in a world of ‘illusion’. We would like the audience to have the same unique feeling after watching a magnificent movie.
