Watt Plaza Lobby
Even from beyond the doors, the soft glow of the lighting feature at Watt Plaza Lobby simply cannot be missed. The new lobby design by STUDIOS Architecture called for a massive decorative light display and Canadian lighting studio, Archilume, got the call. The result is a striking constellation of 350 (yes, 350!) individually mounted P1M LED luminaires.

The P1M is Archilume?s marquee pendant. It set the stage for what is now the brand?s design ethos – innovating by combining science with beauty. Since its founding in 2013, Archilume has been producing glare-free decorative luminaires that revolutionize the use of innovative lighting technologies ? one of the first to use energy-efficient LED chip-on-board technology in a luminaire ? and, with the P1M, helped lead the way with the application of total internal reflection optics in decorative LED lighting. Technological lighting advances aside, the sheer brilliance of the P1M lies in its ability to be mounted as a solitary pendant or grouped to form a chandelier. But it wasn?t until the Watt Plaza Lobby and STUDIOS Architecture?s need for a focal lighting feature that the brilliance behind the P1M?s design could truly shine.
