Congratulations to all IALD Lighting Design Award winners. Keep on shining.


The Nikkei Head Office building project in Tokyo needed to visually convey its status as one of the most important newspaper publishing companies in Japan. The building’s entrance lobby, called Space N.I.O., features a media wall floating inside the two-story atrium inspired by paper from a rotary press.


“The lighting design craftsmanship is very skillful, down to the small details of alignment,”


commented one awards judge. “The sculptural band of illumination is dynamically beautiful and a technical challenge that appears effortless.” Simple and clear lighting solutions create a dignified and elegant lighting environment for this important newspaper company. Most lighting fixtures are concealed within architectural details to diminish their perceived existence. The gently illuminated ceiling and floor surfaces create a

pleasant visual brightness for the lobby area. The multipurpose hall was designed to generate the feeling of being in a forest, featuring directional lights inspired by sunlight filtering through the trees. A series of spotlights concealed in the trough between ceiling and columns create this impressive lighting effect with simple circuit divisions. The 8.3W LED uplights behind the columns illuminate the vertical wall to create a silhouette effect.
