Light Design already holding the existing lighting hire contract for Dunes Nightclub were approached by Bobby Sayed owner of the venue in the summer of 2007 and asked to work through a proposal for the refurbishment and LED installation of the venue. The venue was to undergo a massive redesign and be rebranded Envogue now called twenty. Our proposal was a design consisting of architectural led lighting supplied by instyle our preferred led supplier; we worked closely with tibbatts architects on the design and implementation of the project, a company that we had only just finished working with on the beda award winning nightingale club installation project just a few months earlier. The work was to take place over a six week period while the venue remained shut with Michael Lewsey working as project manager on this important prestigious installation alongside Light Design veteran Rob flury.
Due to the venues exclusive clientele nothing but the best finish in the venue architecture would be acceptable so this required all cable runs running between the led fixtures to be sunk into the walls. The work schedule was demanding over the six week period of installation Rob and Michael conducted many trips to site just to sink cables into the walls for the led lighting then to return day after day first fixing materials to work around the build schedule, Project manager Michael Lewsey said “the flexibility to get the project completed around the many issues and changes on site is something the team take seriously” this is evident in the finish of this high profile led installation.
The end result is an installation of a stunning mix of Instyle led products The entrance hall has white led fixtures lighting the hall and stairs The bar areas have led linear strips, The seating area had led down lighters lighting up features in the seating area like the chain effect used to separate the seats. The venue also has an array or custom led strips lighting up the curved seating booths in the bar area. By far the most impressive area of the club is the Led installation in the opulent VIP area, a perfect mix of white leather furniture, highlighted by led lighting hung from custom discs in the ceiling with led strips lighting up the walls. Now twenty (formally envogue can look forward to a bright future with its hundreds of led fixtures making this Light Design installation one of our best to date
