Making of / 20 Old Bailey

Behind the scenes  

A commission by international practice BDP to produce two bespoke Bangle lighting installations for the renovation of 20 Old Bailey, London.

Bangle is created from extruded aluminium which is then machined to create the detailing and fittings.  It is then hand polished and finished by an experienced craftsman to any finish the client specifies, in this instance polished aluminium, matt aluminium and matt brass.

A very meticulous approach was required behind the scenes.  Both installation contained 100 Bangles, each with a specific a colour and location within the installation.   This also meant there was 300 ceiling points with specific cable length that had to be carefully coordinated when installed.  One wrong cable and the installation would be out of position.
