The workspaces —comprised of three floors at 1211 Avenue of the Americas — feature a 100% open plan workspace, enhanced employee amenities, and unique display moments that celebrate the story of 21st Century Fox. Formerly sequestered in individual offices, the workplace was transformed to be accessible and transparent, altering the client’s self-perceptions and activating the workplace throughout. The development of a lighting concept that provided a sense of motion, and energy was a critical component used as a medium to reference the newfound fluidity, and connectivity as the ethos of the design. Such bold, yet unobtrusive lighting required a luminaire with enough output to provide uniform lighting in a variable typology, while avoiding any hotspots. The lighting design required the development of a custom suspended system that allowed the creation of multiple geometry configurations with a variety of intersecting points, and angles of incidence, while maintaining high uniformity, with little to no deviation.


The implementation of a dual microlensing™ on the product lens, along with a homogenous treatment on the pendant secondary lens, guaranteed a true uniformity, all enhanced by the implementation of high CIE Ra in order to emphasize the company's brand narrative.
