Illuminating First Impressions: Lobbies That Shine

First impressions are important. In every type of commercial space—whether a workplace or hospitality setting—there’s one opportunity to make the perfect first impression: the lobby. Lobbies set the tone, enhancing a person’s experience as they move through a space while reinforcing your brand and business identity. 

When well-designed, the most successful lobbies create a warm, welcoming atmosphere, with modern lighting serving as a key design and functional element. In this article, we’ll uncover our favorite methods and pieces for lighting lobbies of any business. 

Make a Grand Entrance

Luxury brands require a sense of sophistication, prestige and timelessness across all touchpoints, particularly as they welcome guests in physical spaces. Creating an undeniably luxe appeal through illumination, the Constellation Centaurus Pyramid Chandelier features a grand, cascading form of concentric circles with dazzling orbs of light. The result is a lighting configuration that pairs beautifully with other high-end materials, like marble or velvet, reinforcing notions of luxury.

Keep Things Small

Some brands, like startups or small businesses, need to reflect a forward-looking perspective as they greet visitors to their office. The Meclisse Chandelier marries style, scale and innovation through form and function. Featuring a series of planar orbital pendants suspended at varied heights, the luminaire creates a dynamic display for lobbies reflective of a nimble and growing team.
