Overview

Four LED columns in an Art Deco hotel lobby, each wrapped in one part of the same view of surf from above.

Columns already give a lobby its order. Wrapping them in LED keeps that order and adds depth. Four columns rise from a terrazzo floor, each carrying one part of a single image: surf seen from directly above, breaking white over turquoise water. Guests walk between them as if along the shoreline. Columns can run full height or stop below a soffit, round or faceted.

Content ideas
