PROJECT DETAILS

Embarking on an extraordinary mission at the historic grounds of the World Trade Center in New York, Flos Bespoke was selected to craft a unique solution in collaboration with Tillotson Design Associates and REX for the Perelman Performing Arts Center.

This 129,000-square-foot project began in 2015, with each façade lighting element manufactured by the Bespoke team to meet the needs of the venue, playing a crucial role in shaping the center's dual appearance. The venue undergoes an impressive transformation, presenting itself as a solid, monolithic structure during the day and then transforming into a translucent, luminous cube at night.

The project comprises 80 custom vertical pendants with 7-8 horizontal LED bars, each equipped with specific lenses and beam angles, alongside specialized step lights tailored for the entrance and intimate theaters. Flos achieved extraordinary feats in illuminating the venue, turning it into a work of art—an outcome of Tillotson Design Studio's innovative lighting concept.
