Entry DescriptionThis sculptural chandelier greets residents and guests not merely as a decorative object, but as a poetic threshold between the outer world and the intimate space of home.
Like golden and white pages caught mid-flight, its elements float in the air — embodying thoughts, memories, and dreams that we carry with us each day. It is a visualization of the invisible — the movement of wind, the pulse of time, the silent flow of emotion.
"Letters of the Wind" creates an atmosphere of lightness, openness, and inspiration, encouraging a moment of pause, an upward glance, a breath of stillness. It transforms the lobby into a space of reflection and calm, where architecture and art harmoniously welcome you.
Through its elegant presence, the installation sets the tone for the entire Port City experience — refined, uplifting, and profoundly human.
Special attention was given to the handcrafted glass elements. By combining different sizes, transparencies, and arrangements, we enhanced the lighting effect. The mix of frosted and glossy glass softens light distribution, creating a dynamic interplay of highlights and shadows, emphasizing the modern entrance design.
Additionally, dimmable lighting adapts to the time of day. At night, brightness reduces to 50%, and by early morning—to 20%, fostering a relaxed ambiance. This approach enhances comfort and supports energy efficiency.
Sustainability ApproachThe sustainable development of this project was realized through the use of environmentally friendly materials and energy-efficient technologies. The chandeliers are made of glass, a recyclable material that minimizes environmental impact. Manual processing reduces waste, and the combination of frosted and glossy glass optimizes lighting effects with minimal energy consumption. The use of LED luminaires reduces energy consumption and has a long service life. Adaptive dimmable lighting reduces brightness at night, saving electricity. Chandeliers combine durability, versatility and aesthetic integrity, making them a sustainable choice for modern interiors that remain relevant for decades.
