the challenge to develop and create arresting lighting fixtures as those originally conceived in antique bronze and porcelain. the new concept needed to have a luxurious appearance and warm illumination, but with a smaller price tag.

the solution the design firm turned to 3form light Art to create the circular centerpieces from 3form Varia ecoresin. the lightweight material was a significant cost savings, yet still maintained the high-end aesthetic of the sophisticated new York eatery. 3form light Art provided a complete solution equipped with installation hardware and all lighting components — saving the owners time and reducing the overall cost by half.

the challenge the designers were challenged to create a grand interior lobby for a residential condo development, without the grand price tag.

the solution the team chose 3form Alabaster. With an opulent translucent glow, the stone became the stunning focal point in the lobby. the product was a significant cost saving over real onyx stone and a true value relative to its impact in the space. the material also proved easier to work with onsite and easier to install than the originally conceived onyx – which increased the cost savings overall.
