Neolight Global
Antonio Neri
Bluewaters is a vibrant lifestyle destination featuring residential, retail, hospitality, and entertainment options. Home to Ain Dubai, the world’s largest observation wheel, it is also a shopper’s paradise, housing retail and dining concepts. Bluewaters’ bridge and several transport systems also make the urban island easy to access.
To illuminate the streets of Bluewaters, lighting design practice Neolight Global wanted a contemporary steel lamp post with a twist: timber cladding. We were more than happy to pick up the challenge.
The lamp post design complements perfectly the surrounding architecture and landscape design, making the whole development very sleek and stylish.
