Park Lane, Meadowhall Shopping Centre Has a Stunning Refit

Jointly designed by The Harris Partnership and BDP Lighting and manufactured by Northern Lights, these breathtaking lighting sculptures have taken centre stage in the newly refurbished Park Lane area of Meadowhall Shopping Centre – one of only six super-regional shopping malls in the country.

Taking on the task to transform the Park Lane area into a premier shopping area, the interior designer wanted a group of large-scale lighting features for the foyer spaces. The major requirements in the design brief were: firstly, the feature needed to connect upper and lower shopping areas and secondly, it needed to deliver a genuine ‘Wow’ factor. After comparing a few options, the final design brief called for a series of mass installations of delicate abstract shape suspensions. Northern Lights was given the job to bring the idea to life.

Working through the inspirational images from the interior designer, the chandelier designers then developed a template for the abstract shapes. A mixture of polished stainless steel, clear acrylic and frosted acrylic materials were selected to add depth. Each shape was then precision cut with a laser to achieve the abstract geometric forms. More than 14,000 shapes in total were suspended on the ultra-thin wires which were further enhanced by 21,000 clear crystals.
