We created a luxurious atmosphere with our signature chandelier at GRAND HOTEL ✨

As part of the lighting project for one of the most recognizable hotels in Lviv — Grand Hotel — we designed a chandelier that fully reflects the character of the space and serves as its central feature. The composition is complemented by accent interior lighting that highlights the architecture, textures, and shapes the overall atmosphere of the main lobby.

The foundation of the composition is formed by unique glass plates crafted in our glassblowing laboratory. These elements feature a two-layer structure, where each layer has its own specific function: first, a textured inner surface that seems to radiate warmth, followed by an amalgam coating that protects the material from damage while providing maximum reflectivity. On top of that, the chandelier fragments were finished with additional tinting.

Most people are used to chandeliers being illuminated from within, but due to the structure and materials of this object, we decided to direct the light from the outside instead.

We approached the chandelier lighting the same way we approach sculpture lighting, using different optics from multiple angles to achieve an anti-glare effect. Narrow and delicate beams create warm accents, medium beams emphasize the volumes, while wide beams unite everything into one unique composition.

The interior lighting continues this logic: accent lighting helps build the hierarchy of the space, creates depth, and balances intimacy with elegance, enhancing the emotional perception of the lobby.

Together with Володимир Непийвода YOD Group, we created a true work of art that now decorates the central hall of the hotel in the heart of Lviv.

Thanks to the Expolight Cloud Control System service, both the chandelier and the lighting scenarios of the space are programmed to automatically change four times a day with smooth, seamless transitions.

Exquisite lighting for a restaurant in the heart of Downtown Dubai

Bisou Dubai is one of the most beautiful restaurants in central Dubai, where French elegance blends with the spirit of the Middle East.

The restaurant is located near the famous Opera Plaza, just a few steps from the Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa skyscraper. Today, it is already operating successfully and has become a popular destination in Dubai.

💡In this project, we worked with architectural lighting to delicately highlight the interior design, revealing its tactile quality and the expressiveness of its details.
On the first floor, special attention was paid to the spatial hierarchy—the main focal point is the decorative pendant lights.

The light softly transforms throughout the day—changing in temperature and hue, turning the lights into living flowers that seem to bloom in the air.

The bar area is highlighted by warm, concealed lighting that draws guests’ attention to the fascinating process of creating signature dishes.

The grand staircase leading to the second floor is also integrated into the lighting design—its illumination changes in sync with the entire space, creating a unified, dynamic atmosphere.

As a result, we succeeded in enhancing the sophistication of the interior, adding depth to it, and creating a special magic in the space through light.

Atmospheric lighting for a new venue in the heart of Warsaw 🇵🇱

Located in the very center of Warsaw’s vibrant nightlife district, Kiki Burger Cafe is a youth-oriented restaurant with a bold character and minimalist interior — a space where the atmosphere constantly shifts with the rhythm of the city.

For this project, our team created a lighting concept that transforms the venue’s atmosphere throughout the day. 💡

Using accent lighting, we highlighted the unique textures and details of the interior, allowing materials and forms to reveal themselves in the most expressive way.

The project also features bi-dynamic lighting scenarios that change during the day, creating mood and atmosphere — from daytime comfort to evening energy.

All systems are controlled via the Expolight Cloud Control System, allowing remote management of the lighting from anywhere in the world and quick adaptation of the venue’s atmosphere for different events and scenarios.

We would like to thank the architectural studio I’M Design Alena Bondar for collaborating on this project.

Here, light becomes more than illumination — it is an integral part of the design, bringing the space to life and creating the perfect mood for every evening at KIKI. 🧡✨
