Office Reception Area - LED Illuminated Glass Wall & Desk

LiteTile Ltd as Designers

LiteTile were asked to supply lighting to a wall in the reception area of this central London office building as the client wanted an eye-catching and modern design suitable for this refurbished office block.  The illumianted feature wall is made up of 14 floor-to-ceiling panels of laminated glass behind which LiteTile installed panels of Prismex and each panel was edgelit with white LEDs.  The colour-changing effect was achieved by laminating dichoric film on to the glass panels - dichoric film is a "mirror" film which gives the appearance of changing colour as one walks past it.

Each panel is set at an angle against the next one so that each panel appears slightly different form its neighbour when moving past it.  The client also wanted the new recpetion desk to be illumianted in a single colour.  The reception desk was made of slabs of black marble on the top with glass panels across the front of it. Again, LiteTile installed Prismex panels behind the glass and edgelit the panels with white LEDs.  The whole effect creates a cutting-edge feature in this refurbished office reception area and as the entrance way to this office building is glass, it can be seen by passers-by and looks just as stunning at night.
