Tasked to Create a Stunning, Large-Scale Centerpiece for a 5-Star, National Brand Hotel
Illume Global designed and manufactured a large-scale custom light fixture to serve as the centerpiece above a new, vibrant bar area, which was previously the courtyard of an old, iconic building - now The Lytle Park Hotel, Autograph Collection Cincinnati.


Overcoming Complexities in Design and Budget
The project presented several significant challenges:
-
Scale and Complexity: The large dimensions and intricate design required precise engineering and craftsmanship.
-
Weight: This substantial fixture demanded robust structural support.
-
Quality Level: Brand standards demanded high-quality materials and finishes.
-
Engineering: Renovation complexities introduced unforeseen engineering hurdles.
-
Budget Constraints: The overall project was significantly overbudget, putting pressure on the lighting budget.

Project Solutions & Final Deliverables
These project challenges were met by:
-
Utilizing both our domestic and off-shore production facilities to access resources, including overseas factories for cost-effective hand-blown glass and spun-metal parts, reducing material costs by over 50%.
-
Collaborating with design, engineering, and construction teams to ensure the fixture met structural limitations.
-
Working directly with vendors to ensure project timeline alignment.
As a result, Illume Global delivered the fixture 38% below the next closest bid, exceeding expectations on price-to-value and creating a beautifully crafted signature light fixture.
