Overview

A project with architectural design firm Griskelis Young Harrell challenged us to think big.

The design team tasked LightArt with matching the size of the reception desk at 401 N. Michigan Avenue, a mixed-use Class A building in the heart of Chicago's business district.

Coming in at 11ft in Diameter, the custom Acoustic Drum fixture is a helpful beacon to visitors, as it draws awareness to the reception and check-in desk within the expansive lobby space.

The fixture has a similar tapered shape to the Acoustic Empire Shade, but follows the construction of the Acoustic Drum by including an enclosed bottom diffuser. 

The final dimensions are 11'-4"Dia x 9'-4" Top Dia x 4'H. The custom Acoustic Drum has a fully integrated, solid-state LED system with 120-277 volt drivers, 0-10v dimming, and 3000K.
