The Ford Experience Center is a dynamic venue, catering to a wide range of functions all hosted within the building’s main lobby. This gathering area required a lighting design that captured the essence of Ford while offering flexibility to tailor color to suit the various tones of the events hosted there. Illuminart, renowned for lighting designs that enhance environments, was brought in by Ghafari Associates to focus on the impactful space. Robert White, IALD, LC, IES, and Elizabeth Williams, LC, IES led the creative endeavor. Specifying QTL’s flexible encapsulated Q-CAP fixtures allowed lines of light to punctuate the brand tie-in.
Q-CAP’s side bending KURV profile was selected due to checking off a number of boxes: its flexible nature allowed it to follow the curved lines of the glass railing, it could be used to create seamless continuous runs, and the way light pushed out from the fixture via its built-in parabolic curve. This internal reflector allowed light to be focused up the railing’s glass panels, casting accents of illumination onto the ceiling of the lobby and attached corridors. It was also used to push light down from the top of the staircase onto the floor below.
