Light Installation for KALKI, Vadodra
Restore Nh
Turning computational code into an architectural anchor.
Commissioned for kalki's flagship destination in Baroda—with spatial design envisioned by Restore Design—the Suspended Popsicle Lamps redefine vertical circulation across a dramatic 7-meter stairwell drop.
Rather than treating the stairwell as a simple transition between floors, the installation transforms the void into an evolving spatial journey. As you ascend from the ground level to the mezzanine, parametric clusters taper, billow, and shift from every perspective—creating a dynamic dialogue of contour, shadow, and soft glow.
The Craft Behind the Form:
Industrial Additive Manufacturing: Bypassing traditional molds and heavy tooling, the entire piece was realized through large-format 3D printing.
Engineered Lightness: Printed in recyclable, high-performance PETG with algorithmically optimized infill patterns to protect ceiling slabs from excess structural load.
Warm Ambience: Powered by custom-diffused LED cores designed to eliminate harsh hotspots in favor of a soft, immersive retail glow.
Automotive Refinement: Finished through a multi-stage surface treatment and coated in resilient automotive paint, resulting in an ultra-durable, glass-smooth shell that bridges digital fabrication with luxury craft.
Where computational design meets luxury retail experience.
