NEW YORK \u2013 May 23, 2023 \u2013 <\/strong>Immersive Lighting Installations program and recognizes the exceptional vision and outstanding presentation of the winning manufacturer-designer team,\u201d said Dan Darby, show director. \u201cThese collaborative lighting installations demonstrate how exhibitor product and design talent combine to create compelling visual showcases that inspire LightFair attendees.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

At the 2023 LightFair, a panel of judges from IALD assessed all installations for conceptual clarity, collaborative presentation and thematic execution. The Best Overall winner was chosen from among seven finalists featuring teams of lighting designers and exhibiting manufacturers who were matched by an IALD panel and challenged to create \u201cimmersive lighting installations\u201d upon the theme: Circular Economy<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The winners of the first-ever Immersive Lighting Installations are Traxon e:cu <\/strong>and design firm Tillotson Design Associates<\/strong>, whose \u201cSeeds of Light\u201d installation in Booth #3145 is constructed around the skeletal framework of a traditional greenhouse and features innovative fixtures and mounting systems that integrate light with the structure.<\/p>\n

In addition to being presented with their awards at a special ceremony held at 5 p.m. today in the IALD Designery, Traxon e:cu<\/strong> receives a free 10\u2019x10\u2032 booth for the 2025 edition of LightFair; and Tillotson Design Associates<\/strong> receives a Diamond Pass for LightFair 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

The six other finalists were:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Boca Lighting <\/strong>| Controls <\/strong>and design firm CM Kling + Associates<\/strong>, whose \u201cNet Transformation\u201d installation in Booth #2657 uses repurposed materials that would have otherwise been disposed of, and those materials will be recycled at the conclusion of the show to keep the cycle going.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Casambi, in collaboration with Erco<\/strong>, and design firm Arup<\/strong>, whose \u201cLess, Please\u201d installation in Booth #1445 explores how lighting is fabricated and used within the built environment, and how to do more by using less energy, fewer materials, lower illuminance levels and reduced light pollution.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Cooledge Lighting <\/strong>and design firm The Lighting Practice<\/strong>, whose \u201cOut of the (Light) Box\u201d installation in Booth #1751 creates a captivating interplay of light, texture and materials. The minimal and sustainable design promotes a mindset of conserving and using resources minimally, rather than overutilizing them.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Focal Point <\/strong>and design firm Fisher Marantz Stone<\/strong>, whose \u201cThe Image Left, Behind\u201d installation in Booth #2339 invites attendees to collectively ponder and participate in an initiative that eliminates waste by reusing recycled material, and to support the circular economy so, in the end, only the image is left behind.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Lamp (Experience Brands) <\/strong>and design firm One Lux Studio<\/strong>, whose \u201cActivate the Circular Economy\u201d in Booth #1109 is a physical manifestation of the circular economy, inviting viewers to envision themselves as a central and active part in achieving sustainability while also enjoying a brief natural respite.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Lumenpulse <\/strong>and design firm HLB Lighting Design<\/strong>, whose \u201cRenewal\u201d installation in Booth #3005 uses components that have been thoughtfully selected specifically because they are being reused.

LightFair attendees are invited to participate in free IALD Immersive Lighting Tours held onsite on Wednesday, May 24, at 10:30 a.m., and Thursday, May 25, at 11 a.m. Registration is available at https:\/\/www.lightfair.com\/registration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Led and curated by IALD, participation in the Immersive Lighting Installations was open to manufacturers focused in architectural and commercial lighting. Selection was based on a statement of their vision around the program\u2019s theme. Entries were vetted by LightFair and IALD, with seven manufacturers selected and matched with a New York-based lighting design practice that includes at least one IALD member to bring their installations to life.<\/p>\n

\u201cILI exhibitors and their partnered lighting design firms\u2019 abilities to take one theme and interpret it seven different ways is a testament to the design innovation and creativity at LightFair this year,\u201d said Christopher Knowlton, IALD CEO. \u201cTraxon e:cu and Tillotson Design Associates exemplified the Circular Economy through their collaboration, and we look forward to using LightFair\u2019s network to further lighting design for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2023 LightFair Trade Show and Conference focuses on future-shaping innovations and an incredible attendee experience driven by new product discovery, networking and on-floor education, running today through Thursday, May 25, at the Javits Center in New York City.
