CONFIDENTIAL FINANCIAL CLIENT
The huge New York City-based corporate headquarters of a 800,000 sqf Confidential Financial Client with seventeen-floor interior fit-out with open and private offices, trading floors, a conference center, a dining floor, and an executive office floor saw the collaboration of the New York-based lighting design firm Kugler Ning with Gensler to merge architecture and light in a unique entity. The three distinct but overlapping phases included multiple floors accommodating 1,700 trading desks, non-trading floors, distribution and intermediate distribution frame rooms, amenities, and special and support areas.
Kugler Ning selected the unique look of our D27 Faretti Series to illuminate multiple spaces: 150 precious crystal downlights were installed to convey brightness and clean design while adding a unique and homogeneous allure to the entire space.
With either an integral LED or GU10 light source, the crystal diffuser sparkles and shines in either clear crystal or satin finish, or can be partially shaded with a stainless steel front plate. Both open and closed downlight options are available, with closed variations rated for use in damp locations.
The Faretti and Easy recessed collections offer a wide range of possibilities for both commercial and residential installations. Lamp options include integral Bridge Lux 1000 Lumen, 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, or 4000K 16W Remote Phosphor modules, Dimmable 90+ CRI LEDs, or GU10-based sockets for halogen or LED sources. Each series can be customized to meet specific requests, featuring Derating Labels for GU10 versions, Dimming Options (0-10V, Specific Dimming Driver), 277V, and High-Performance 2000-lumen modules.
