Installed Products
Star Treatment for This Michelin-Starred Restaurant
Project Brief
Adding to their impressive portfolio, VISO was asked by AvroKO to design-engineer and fabricate custom lighting for this Michelin-starred restaurant, in the Flatiron District in New York. Oiji Mi is owned by executive chef Brian Kim and needed a unique lighting package that would showcase exquisite craftsmanship and textures inspired by Korean culture.
Client Need
Custom work for this package included lighting that required filigreed artistic craftsmanship, unique materials, and technical skill which VISO is perfectly matched to successfully deliver on. As well, this project needed the right partner to understand the design intent thoroughly to be able to translate this into tangible light fixtures.
Challenges
Some challenges arose when dealing with resin. Though resin is a durable material, it can be equally delicate. Extreme care and expertise was essential in order to complete this project. Furthermore, fine detailing is found throughout the lighting package, ensuring the design intent was met.
Solution
Custom Pendant: The feature light installation is found in the centre of the restaurant, around the main column. This showcases arms that arch beautifully over guests, suspending a frosted shade with off-white linen and matte resin accents. Lamping within are dimmable LEDs at 2200K.
MEASUREMENTS
Diameter: 23.13"/587mm
Height: 62.38"/1584mm
Extension: 53"/1346mm
Custom Floor Lamp: These floor lamps are inspired by the dainty, detailed Korean hair pins. They stand at 80.56"/2046mm tall and feature a matte opal linear textured glass diffuser. Accented by a gold metal finish, one of VISO's proprietary metals, this light fixture exuberates a clean elegance.
MEASUREMENTS
Overall Height: 80.56"/2046mm
Width (Shade): 6.94"/176mm
Height (Shade): 10.1"/256mm
Custom Pendant: Custom pendants that feature beautiful detailing are suspended throughout the dining space. Unique elements that required special attention were fabricated by VISO, from the knot accent to the linear textured opal glass.
MEASUREMENTS
Diameter: 8.5"/216mm
Height (Glass): 10.25"/260mm
Overall Height: 54"/1371mm
