Studiotech was responsible for engineering and implementing the decorative lighting pendants and Oculi at the Lift 109 experience, designed by Michael Grubb Studio. The 'Oculi' at the lift's base feature infinity mirrors framed with pixelated RGBW 'neon' LED, imitating the lift's movement. A custom fabricated retail pendant with 360° RGBW LED tubes is located above the customer service desk, yet most notable is the bespoke multi-ring pendant in the Lift 109 Experience. The pendant's light scenes react to visitor interactions with the exhibition table below, creating a captivating 'chasing' scene. Studiotech was responsible for the detailed design, fabrication, installation and programming of the immersive pendant feature.
