The atmosphere at Spesso is relaxed and international. The leather, dark wood and concrete décor creates a cosy and exclusive feel. A challenge with the lighting was to avoid reflections in the window sections around the entire space. You want to see the view, not the glare. Therefore the light is focused, narrow beam and well directed. The light sources of the luminaires are high mounted to avoid glare. Spotlights and cylindrical pendant luminaires add distinctive pools of light to the tables but leave guests seated in pleasantly subdued light. Spotlights also highlight details, such as the champagne cooler and the colours of the bottles.

The interior designers have created an organic and unique sculpture that hangs above the bar. We developed special pendant luminaires that just let out a soft light sideways, without creating any harsh glare in the metal. We also avoided lighting up the ceiling or adding extra light down on the bar. The food and drinks are the focus here and the view of the night sky is the backdrop.
