Principal Designer Rahul Mistri of Open Atelier Mumbai has collaborated with Delta Light to create a 6-meter-wide lighting ring - the Superloop system - for Vita Moderna’s new experience centre in Mumbai. The need for large-diameter rings pushed the boundaries of both design and functionality, establishing a new benchmark for lighting within expansive retail spaces.

Rahul Mistri’s vision was to craft a precisely controlled environment with customisable illumination. The final design allowed for adjustments based on changing exhibits, ensuring every product is presented in its ideal light. Exhibiting a unique combination of spot, diffused, and aperture lighting, the superloops create an ambience that highlights products while simultaneously setting a dramatic scene.

The custom-made, bespoke lighting system consists of 14 super loop lighting rings strategically installed at various heights, magnetic wireless rings, and unique suspensions, which allow effortless adjustments according to the placement of furniture and products. The lighting design elevates the experience to a multi-sensory level, captivating the intrinsic qualities of each curated piece.

“We worked closely with Delta Lights to create a lighting solution that not only accentuates the textures and colours of every piece through its hyper focussed approach but also allows for flexibility as the space and exhibits evolve,” stated Rahul Mistri.
