Zumtobel and its sister brand Thorn, have delivered a sophisticated and sustainable lighting solution for the redevelopment of 34 Grosvenor Street, one of Mayfair’s most prestigious addresses. Their innovative products have brought together timeless design and advanced technology to illuminate this Grade II listed property while respecting its historical significance and meeting the demands of a modern workplace.

A Historic Building Reimagined

Originally constructed in 1725, 34 Grosvenor Street is part of the esteemed Grosvenor Mayfair Estates. Located just steps from iconic Grosvenor Square and benefiting from exceptional transport links, including the nearby Elizabeth Line, the building underwent a sensitive refurbishment to preserve its character while introducing over 14,000 sq ft of contemporary office space. The redevelopment included executive offices, open-plan spaces, wood-panelled meeting rooms, and break-out areas, alongside modern amenities such as air conditioning, full data cabling, and two automatic passenger lifts.

A significant addition to the property is a landscaped courtyard terrace, created by relocating the building’s plant to the basement. This tranquil outdoor space provides a unique setting for wellbeing activities, informal gatherings, and even yoga sessions—a rare luxury in central Mayfair.

The Lighting Challenge

The refurbishment of 34 Grosvenor Street required a lighting solution that was as innovative as it was sensitive.
The Grade II listed status of the building posed challenges in terms of preserving its historic features while integrating modern lighting systems. Furthermore, the lighting design needed to enhance the architectural integrity of the space and provide a functional, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing solution for office users.

The Lighting Solution

Zumtobel and Thorn supplied a range of luminaires that met the project’s unique requirements. Zumtobel’s ONDARIA, PANOS infinity, LANOS, SLOTLIGHT infinity II luminaires, AMPHIBIA, RESCLITE PRO, ARTSIGN and COMSIGN were deployed throughout the building’s interiors, providing versatile and elegant lighting solutions.

The feature luminaires included:

ONDARIA circular luminaires installed in the offices and reception areas, offer soft, homogeneous illumination that enhances the perception of space while eliminating glare on computer screens. Their understated design seamlessly blends with the building’s period interiors. LANOS, with its clean geometric form and unique halo effect, added a timeless aesthetic to the stairwells and corridors, while delivering excellent light quality and ease of installation. PANOS infinity, an award-winning downlight range, was selected for the toilets and smaller spaces, where its high efficacy and precision lighting were ideal. Lastly, SLOTLIGHT infinity II luminaires, integrated perfectly into the office ceilings, providing high-quality ambient lighting that supports productivity and comfort
within workspaces.

For the external courtyard, Thorn supplied robust and stylish luminaires that elevated the outdoor areas. Piazza, and Cesar were chosen for their durability, weather resistance, and ability to enhance the courtyard’s visual appeal, making it both functional and inviting.
Advanced lighting controls were introduced through Zumtobel’s LITECOM system, ensuring flexibility and efficient energy management to support the building’s sustainability goals.

The Results

The collaboration between Zumtobel, Thorn, and the project partners has resulted in a lighting scheme that is both fit for purpose and visually stunning. The luminaires not only enhance the functionality of the office spacesbut also respect the architectural heritage of the building. By incorporating energy-efficient technology, the luminaires combined with the lighting management solution significantly improves efficacy, contributing to the building’s overall sustainability credentials.
Matt House, Key Account Manager at Zumtobel Group, commented:
"Working on 34 Grosvenor Street has been an exciting challenge. The combination of Zumtobel and Thorn products allowed us to deliver a lighting solution that honours the building’s rich history while meeting the demands of a modern workplace. Our luminaires have brought a new lease of life to the spaces, and the use ofLITECOM lighting controls ensures the solution is future-proof and highly efficient."

Leading upholstery and furniture manufacturer NaughtOne, part of the MillerKnoll collective of brands, has opened the doors to its new London showroom. Proudly sitting in The Old Trading House, Northburgh St, London, this recent renovation covers 4,349 square-feet over two separate floors.

As NaughtOne’s new global flagship showroom, The Old Trading House provides a powerful showcase of its inspiring portfolio and goes beyond the traditional showroom to include a CMF studio and product lending library for specifiers and creatives. Featuring a floor dedicated to showcasing products, clients can see, feel and try NaughtOne’s distinctive portfolio first hand. They can find inspiration in the showroom studio and continue to explore the diverse specifications and finish choices in their own workspace due to the lending library, fully immersing themselves in the brand’s design.

The aim of the lighting design was to accentuate the rich materials of the upholstered pieces on display, bringing out the colours and textures in contrast to the neutral palette of the interior design. Luminaires were specified from Lucent Lighting’s extensive portfolio, installed throughout the showroom and studio to provide the perfect display lighting.

The Victorian warehouse is decked out in neutral tones and wood flooring to evoke a natural, subtle space which allows the furniture to be the star of the show. Lucent Lighting’s TUBE LED HO spotlights are used for dramatic gallery lighting with a focus on accentuating the products, while the brand’s MINITRIM downlight has a subtle appearance which blends in with the overall design and provides a soft ambient glow.

The lighting at NaughtOne is both visually striking and highly functional, enabling an appreciation of the full spectrum of color, fabric, and finish in the furniture under ideal lighting conditions. To enhance the showroom’s ambience, Lucent Lighting provided a custom adaptor for installing decorative suspension lights, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere in key areas.

Lucent chose a mains voltage dimmable 1-10V track system, ensuring smooth, precise dimming that can be adjusted throughout the day to suit different moods and settings. Additionally, the use of two distinct beam angles offers tailored illumination, from highlighting a spacious seating area to softly accenting a single desk chair, leaving the surrounding area subtly shadowed to draw attention to focal points. The mains voltage track also allows for flexible, plug-and-play options, enabling the client to move and reconfigure the decorative suspension lights as desired.

Giovanni Premi at Lucent Lighting said, “The lighting immerses creatives in the warm, rich colours and textures of the fabrics and interior design. The design of the studio challenges the convention of a traditional showroom with the inclusion of the innovative studio and library. The cosy ambience creates a welcoming warmth which embodies the creativity and homeliness of NaughtOne.”

The options open to lighting industry manufacturers to get their sustainability credentials independently certified can be bewildering. And making the wrong choice can have big impacts on customer perceptions and costs.

Science based targets, Ecovadis and B Corp certification all provide credible corporate sustainability assessments. But what are the similarities and differences? And to what extent do they require businesses to actively decarbonise and move towards net zero? Do they all include non-climate related requirements such as labour practices, ethics and supply chain? And what are the costs and benefits?

The Net Zero Lighting 2025 conference sets out to explain and demystify the options. Taking place on 29 April in London, the one-day event features presentations and panels from companies that have already made their choice. Delegates will hear of the opportunities, challenges, and the pitfalls from those with first-hand experience.

Presentations will also reveal the extent to which certifications support the decarbonisation of lighting businesses, as they move towards net zero.

Now in its second year, the conference is organised by Recolight and chaired, as always, by Ray Molony. The conference uses case studies, authoritative presenters including Science Based Targets initiative and BSI, and panel discussions to give delegates the practical advice and guidance they need to decarbonise their operations.

Nigel Harvey, Recolight CEO said “We are delighted to be hosting Net Zero Lighting 2025. The direction of travel in the industry is clear and unstoppable: customer demands and government requirements for decarbonised lighting manufacture will only increase. We are thrilled that our experienced and knowledgeable speakers, drawn from within and beyond the lighting industry, are willing to share their expertise.”

He added: “The climate crisis is the defining issue of our generation, and every business on the planet has a role to play. We are confident that this event will empower delegates with the knowledge they need to help their businesses make a meaningful contribution.”

An impressive art installation comprising a series of sculptures within the newly renovated Hagymatikum Spa in Mako, Hungary, is drawing crowds as an immersive experience, made possible with a system by Pharos Architectural Controls.

The spa in the quaint Hungarian town is now home to Atlantis World, a series of Atlantis-themed sculptures based on the designs of famed Hungarian architect, the late Imre Makovecz, which were found hidden in his possessions.

The sculpture group dazzles visitors with light shows and three themed films, evoking the mythical world of the legendary lost city. To make this a reality, the production manager of the project, Hungarian designer Péter Horgas, specified Pharos to deliver the control elements of the attraction.

This new installation is just part of the appeal of Hagymatikum Spa, a hugely popular destination in its own right. The recent refurbishment means the site now offers 15 indoor and outdoor pools, a slide park, a dedicated children’s area, and spa facilities including a sauna and a thermal waters space. With interactive programmes and events, plus sports facilities and green spaces to enjoy outside, there’s something for everyone.

A single Pharos Designer LPC 1 (Lighting Playback Controller 1) is responsible for the complete lighting control and systems automation tasks – including all external systems such as audio and video projection. To complete the system, DMX and RDM signals are distributed via a Pharos Designer EDN 20 (Ethernet Data Node 20).

The Designer LPC is an award-winning, all-in-one DIN-rail mounted DMX lighting control solution for themed entertainment and LED lighting installations. It features individually controllable and independently running timelines and scenes letting you build dynamic, precise, fully customisable pre-programmed lighting effects with the freedom of real-time manual overrides and the versatility of powerful show control and integration features.

The Designer EDN is a convenient and scalable solution, providing cost-effective Ethernet-distributed DMX ports. It’s an easily configurable networking node that is specifically designed to add physical DMX ports to Pharos Designer controllers and integrates natively with the full Pharos Designer range.

Mark de Gruyter, Sales Director at Pharos Architectural Controls said: “The Hagymatikum Spa is an amazing destination, and the new Atlantis World installation only adds to its appeal. It’s fantastic to know that technology from Pharos Architectural Controls is bringing the inspirational designs of celebrated Hungarian designer Péter Horgas to life.”

Gábor Nyéky from Lisys-Project added: “The innovative immersive experience at Hagymatikum Spa wouldn’t have come to life without the advanced solutions and expertise provided by Pharos. From the start, we were confident that the LPC and EDN would meet all the client’s needs in terms of control and versatility.”

The renovated spa has attracted high levels of national and international attention. Hungary’s Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán described the new building as the most beautiful thermal bath in Hungary.

The enchanting production of My Neighbour Totoro has made its highly anticipated return to London’s West End! The multi-award-winning stage adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s beloved 1988 animated film is brought to life by the Royal Shakespeare Company, in collaboration with iconic composer Joe Hisaishi. Following its acclaimed run at the Barbican Centre in 2022, the production has now transferred to the Gillian Lynne Theatre, continuing to captivate audiences with its spellbinding storytelling and imaginative staging.

Having supplied the lighting fixtures for the original production, we were happy to be approached once again by lighting designer Jessica Hung Han Yun and associate lighting designer and programmer Tamykha Patterson to provide the lighting rig for the transfer.

The production tells the heart-warming tale of sisters Satsuki and Mei, who move to the countryside with their father while their mother is hospitalised. During their summer adventures, they encounter an array of woodland spirits, including the gentle and loveable Totoro. We were delighted to speak with Tamykha about the transfer and her unique role in the production. She explains: “The unusual thing about this show is that I’m both an associate lighting designer and a programmer. During the prep leading into tech weeks, I wear my associate hat. But from the moment we step into the theatre, my programmer hat goes on. I really enjoy the dual nature of my role on this production.”

Tamykha collaborated with Jess on the original Barbican production in 2022, and she shared how exciting it was to reimagine the lighting design for the new venue: “The Gillian Lynne Theatre has a smaller stage than the Barbican, which meant the set had to be adapted. As a result, we couldn’t simply replicate the previous lighting design. We decided to cut back on generic fixtures and rework the rig from scratch. Jess and I created a new lighting rig, cross-referencing them with the Barbican’s to remind ourselves of the key effects we wanted to retain. Our aim was to make the design future-proof, budget-efficient, and easy to maintain.”

The creative team worked tirelessly to preserve the magic of the original production, while cleverly overcoming the challenges of the new venue. Reflecting on how she helped bring Jess’s lighting vision to life, Tamykha says: “The front-of-house layout is quite different, so we had to adjust fixture positions to ensure the audience experienced the same visual impact as they did at the Barbican. Some of the props were also changed from 3D to 2D, which required us to rethink how we incorporated set electrics. The reduced stage depth meant we had to find new ways to recreate shadow backlighting. Fortunately, having worked closely with Jess from early on in our careers, I understand her vision instinctively, which allows me to be more hands-on and express creative ideas.”

During the dry tech period, Jess and Tamykha meticulously refined every preset with the new rig, adjusting colours and ensuring the lighting interacted seamlessly with the set and stage floor. Tamykha explains how they maintained consistency across venues: “Jess and I are both extremely detail-oriented. There are certain key moments in the show that we know so well, we can immediately tell if something feels off. During our time at the Barbican, we documented every preset and cue to ensure continuity. Of course, creative direction evolves, so communication between all departments is essential. It’s funny how much is ingrained in you; you don’t realise it until you see it play out again. One of my proudest moments was hearing the audience gasp at our lighting effects; it’s incredibly rewarding to know that the magic is still there, no matter how many times I’ve seen the show.”

To create the production’s signature magical atmosphere at the Gillian Lynne Theatre, the lighting team increased their use of moving fixtures by 28%, while drastically reducing the number of generic units, by more than half. This streamlined rig helped cut down focus time and featured fixtures such as ETC Halcyon, Martin Mac Encore, Martin Mac Aura XB, Ayrton Eurus, and High End Systems SolarFrame, all controlled via an ETC Eos console.

Tamykha praised White Light’s support throughout the transfer process: “The support we received from WL was fantastic. We were able to use WL’s WYSIWYG suite to prep our fixture swaps and colour-match, which was especially helpful during the hectic post-Christmas period. The team was incredibly flexible and accommodating.”

WL’s Hire Business Development Manager, Stuart Porter, reflects on the partnership: “We’re incredibly proud to continue working with Jess and Tamykha. The production is visually stunning, and they’ve done a phenomenal job adapting it for the new venue. The show looks even slicker now, and we hope it continues to enjoy a long and successful run. Their hard work has elevated what was already an exceptional production.”

Following its official opening night last Thursday, My Neighbour Totoro has once again received glowing reviews from critics and audiences alike. We are honoured to have played a role in bringing this magical production to life.

CU Phosco, in partnership with Mway Comms, has successfully upgraded the
lighting along the M49 link road, replacing outdated SON lighting with advanced
P862 LED luminaires. This project, initiated by National Highways, is part of a £126m
Nationwide Project aimed at significantly improving energy efficiency, safety, and
greatly decreasing the CO2 footprint of the road lighting in accordance with the
current National Highways drive lower CO2 emissions.

Unique in that it is only accessible from other motorways, the M49 motorway is a
critical route in England, linking the M4 (J22) with the M5 (J18A). Constructed
alongside the Prince of Wales Bridge in 1996, the M49 provides essential
connectivity for motorists between the outskirts of Avonmouth and South Wales. Due
to its importance in facilitating regional travel, National Highways sought to
modernise the road's lighting to reduce maintenance costs and improve energy
efficiency.

In 2019, National Highways Area 1/2 engaged CU Phosco to design a
comprehensive lighting solution for the M49 link road. This project, spanning the 5-
mile stretch between the M4 and M5, aimed to replace ageing SON lighting with
modern, energy-efficient alternatives. Although delayed due to cable infrastructure
challenges, the lighting redesign was completed in 2023, allowing CU Phosco to
partner with Mway Comms for installation.

CU Phosco worked closely with National Highways and Mway Comms to deliver a
solution to optimise safety and efficiency along the M49. A total of 255 P862 LED
luminaires with ANSI Nema sockets to accommodate the Lucy Zodion CMS were
installed, replacing the outdated SON stock. The P862 luminaire, known for its
superior optical performance and thermal management, was chosen for its ability to
meet National Highways' strict specifications and supplied, including safety Tether
kits.

The P862's dark sky certification ensures minimal light pollution, while its lightweight
design and low wind profile made it ideal for installation on existing lighting columns.
This project utilised various outputs and bespoke hybrid optics to complement its
future-proof design, offering an optimal balance of efficiency, longevity, and
performance.

The new LED lighting system significantly enhanced visibility and safety along the
M49 while also delivering substantial energy savings, helping to align with National
Highways' sustainability goals.

Additionally, the P862's design reduces the need for frequent maintenance, further
cutting operational costs. This modernisation effort not only improves the driving
experience for road users but also supports National Highways' long-term objectives
of reducing carbon emissions and enhancing road safety.

Stuart Griffin, Contracts Manager, Mway Comms comments, “Mway Comms and CU
Phosco have worked closely to deliver this lighting scheme. Early supplier involvement ensured that all lanterns were delivered in advance of the planned install date to allow for detailed planning to be undertaken, in what has turned out to be a very busy section of the national motorway system. Other major projects in the vicinity, that were utilising the M49 as part of their diversion route restricted the access for installation, but with all 350 lanterns available from the start, works could be rescheduled at short notice to minimise time lost to cancelled road space.

A successful project and I look forward to working with CU Phosco again in the near
future on similar schemes.”
