Large outdoors star ceiling at Dublin's HSQ development

In early 2008 Starscape was commissioned to supply and install a large star ceiling as a feature at the new Heuston South Quater development in Dublin. The requirement was to decorate the soffit of a bridge structure linking two tower blocks at the seventh storey. The creative part of the design had already been finalised when Starscape was approached, so our input on the design side was limited to technical advice as to component selection. Starscape then carried out the installation on site, taking a week to complete the project.

Starry walls for a Midlands Night Club

Starscape was asked to fabricate and install a series of star wall-panels to line the walls of a nightclub in the Midlands. A mixture of 1.5mm and 1mm fibres were used at a density of 12 per square metre, with a uniform distribution of the stars.

The nightclub has its full suite of clever lighting effects, so the star panels were designed simply as a background, rather than a major feature. However, the end result was very effective, and the client very pleased with the installation.

Etched Acrylic panel for Hotel in the Middle East

Large acrylic panel with fibre optic Orion image

A 1.8 x 1.5 metre cast Acrylic panel was etched with a custom customer design and side lit with our flexible LED strips. Fibre optic stars were added lit by a 75 watt light source with twinkle wheel. The piece was finished with a back panel in blue with printed stars and the bars name.

Starscape designed, manufactured and installed the panel. Other work included in the project included the supply and installation of LED mood lighting the chill-out room of the hotel's nightclub, and the installation of a star ceiling in a corridor linking the chill-out room and nightclub.

The image of Orion seems to float in the centre of the panel with no visible means of illumination

Japanese Nightclub

Nightclub Star wall and ceiling

We made up large harnesses of mixed diameter optical fibres for use in the walls and ceiling of this nightclub in Japan. The long harnesses are illuminated by 150 watt metal halide light sources. The British DJ at the club tells us that the effect is "wicked". It's nice to have satisfied customers as far away as this.

We also have a commercial customer in Thailand who has had a number of custom harnesses from us in the past couple of years.
