Last night was the opening event for Design Within Reach, West Hollywood– our latest finished project for DWR. Here we are, the Light Studio LA team, Kathy Pryzgoda, Alessandra Todd (8 months pregnant!) and Vanessa Miranda, our newest addition!

DWR LA was another successful collaboration between the creative intelligence at Design Within Reach, Sayigh + Duman Architects and 2 x 4. It was a long road but we couldn’t be more proud of this beautiful store in our very own city of Los Angeles.

There are so many different lighting elements that bring this store to life. From the facade, the first thing to catch your eye is this cluster of DWR decoratives, called a “Light Cloud.”

The stairs going up to the second floor are lined with chair display boxes using fluorescent strips. This technique requires a certain clearance from the face of the fixture to the bottom of the acrylic to distribute the light evenly– when done correctly, you wont see the strips at all!

Here is another application of LED panels for the chair displays that don’t have the space for the fluorescent detail.

Now go see it for yourself on Melrose Ave!
