A Star Was Born… …and Shines Brightly… among orbs of light

Do you sometimes feel alone? Lost in the chaotic world full of seemingly pointless responsibilities? People stopped looking at the stars above their heads and the appreciation for beauty is slowly disappearing from our lives. But don’t panic, there are still places keeping the light of the beauty alive.

Take off to Tianjin and visit the atrium of the Intercontinental hotel. There you will find a lighting installation called Felix Stella sparkling above your head. Discover the beauty…again!

The galaxy is full of stars and to find the brightest one, you have to see the others. The milky way of small “crystal stars” designed by Katarína Kudějová Fulínová adorns the ceiling in the hotel lobby.

The journey from the inspiration to creation started at the desk. About 38 hours were spent clicking away the 3D model of Felix Stella.

Overall 750 pieces of Czech glass were assembled to create the look of a star. Each piece conceals the internal LED module inside.

The eye-catching lighting effect is called dynamic lighting. Do you know what it is? The light travels through the installation according to pre-set scenarios. Sometimes it looks like a pack of fireflies, sometimes it’s a pulsing light.

Our technicians filled an empty hotel atrium with a shining beauty that is 20 meters wide and 27 meters tall. You could say that the space is filled to its fullest potential.

The light of the glass star also fills the hearts of visitors with the unique beauty of light. This place will make you realize that you are never far away from space and its endless beauty, that you are part of it.
