AFRICAN UNION HOLDINGS
JOHANNESBURG | GAUTENG
The newly renovated offices for African Union Holdings required a reception area with a statement. Design Effect International asked RLS to design a lighting system to complement the contrasting wall and ceiling finishes as well as to create a dramatic effect leading into the space. Working together, we managed to design a continuous linear light using our A-Line System which brings various elements together into one system according to a customer's unique specifications. The A-Line System leads vertically down the double volume entrance and onto the ceiling of the reception, which divides the contrast of wall and ceiling finishes beautifully. Branching off from this, the system wraps around the back wall populated with our Uno modules to illuminate the wooden cladding. The second branch leads over to the reception desk with our Silo pendants suspended at the end of the desk.
