70 St. Mary Axe Reception Integrated Lighting
Unibox works alongside Foggo Associates to develop a one-of-a-kind illuminated desk for 70 St. Mary Axe.
Upon realising that no off-the-shelf product in existence would be able to incorporate all of the features detailed in our client’s brief, we set about developing a bespoke solution. This involved a series of custom-engineered light panels, all of which were to operate using custom PCBs with 4000K LEDs and Makrolon DXNR diffusers.
Our team worked to guarantee that the reception desk we supplied would use materials that meet B-S1-D0 standards. This included the use of in-house 3D printing capabilities to produce bespoke clips and fixing mechanisms to ensure that the entire diffuser could be held in place when suspended upside-down and removed for routine maintenance works.
Unibox, with their vast experience using LED lighting and custom metal extrusions, proved to be the perfect partner for the project.
