Shortlisted: Lighting / Lighting Scheme Award

The International Design & Architecture Awards 2025

IDA 2025

George Singer Ltd, in collaboration with digital artists Onformative, created a unique lighting installation titled Lua for the atrium of a free-standing residential building. The brief called for a design inspired by the natural movement of silk and the inclusion of amber tones. The result is a striking blend of advanced digital technology and meticulous handcraftsmanship.

Harnessing cutting-edge digital tools, the team developed sweeping, undulating forms that mimic the fluidity of silk—shapes impossible to create by hand alone. These elegant curves were translated into a contemporary light sculpture composed of twenty thousand hand-painted glass balls, each individually strung onto wires by hand. The ceiling structure, made from steel and aluminium, was also entirely handmade in the UK.

The amber glass complements the dark timber elements and marble finishes in the atrium, enhancing the overall aesthetic with warmth and sophistication. The installation resonates beautifully with the surrounding modern architecture and sculpture, casting dynamic reflections on the surface of the adjacent carp pond.

George Singer Ltd aimed to create a design that exudes grandeur, elegance, and tranquillity. The interplay of digital innovation and artisanal skill delivers a visual experience that is both captivating and serene. With complete creative freedom granted by the client, this project stands as a proud achievement for George Singer’s London studio. The contribution of dedicated product design and architecture graduates was integral to the project’s success, showcasing the studio’s ability to execute a large-scale, highly detailed, and contemporary installation with exceptional care and craftsmanship.
