    CASE STUDY: Designing the lighting for the Al Munz Mall, Oman

    The Al Munz Mall is without doubt the premier shopping mall in Oman. Masiero, the leading high-end decorative lighting company, whose hallmark is great flexibility thanks to its in-house production and project management capabilities, had a key role in making the Al Munz Mall even more unique…

    Lighting brand Masiero approached the project of Al Munz Mall in Oman with the LIBE model in the Dimore catalogue, which is a round wooden pendant with a dramatic light effect emanating from the opaque crystal lozenges on its diffusers.

    The lighting company developed a cascade composition reaching down from a large ceiling plate with a shiny finish, which creates wondrous reflections and plays of light. The ceiling plate is a key feature, in that its entire structure hangs from the glass ceiling. Masiero’s technicians had to assess and deal with the impact of the whole structure in terms of weight, compatibility of materials and reflectiveness of the glass.

    The result was a great success: Masiero managed to create a ceiling plate which is functional, aesthetically pleasing and at one with the central structure of this cascade of light.

    One notable feature of this installation is the magical effect as you look up into the ceiling: the reflections of the lights create a starry sky on the glass ceiling.
