Lebanon-based architect George Chidiac of George Henri Chidiac Architects has designed yummy Waterlemon Juice bars
in Kuwait, Bahrain and Lebanon. When he created the all-white curved
Waterlemon in a Beirut shopping mall, he approached Beirut-based PSLAB for the development of custom lighting for the tight space that has no natural light.
At the time, PSLAB was experimenting with cold-cathode lighting tubes
and so the lighting concept for Waterlemon ended up utilizing them. The
concept was inspired by the curve shape and involves strip lights of
varying length depending on the intensity and type of light needed.
Each slit houses linear cold cathode and custom directional projectors
equipped with GU4 lamps. The lighting concept — by principal lighting
designer Dimitri Saddi with Rana Haddad and Pascal Hachem — won the
International Association of Lighting Designers’ Award of Merit. By Tuija Seipell
