Optelma Lighting Delivers Bespoke Brilliance at Finsbury Circus House

Optelma Lighting has played a key role in the transformation of the reception at 15 Finsbury Circus, supplying a standout lighting package for key areas that combines bold design with precision engineering.

Designed by Strom the lighting scheme creates a balanced feel that naturally guides people through the space.  Due to the dual entrances the centre of the reception suffered from a lack of natural light which has been solved with both subtle and striking lighting elements.

At the focal point of the scheme are two bespoke reeded glass pendants, crafted exclusively for the project. They act as sculptural statements, drawing the eye and setting the tone with a warm, atmospheric glow, designed to enhance two key areas of the reception – the main reception desk and coffee bar area. 

To complement the pendants, Optelma supplied its innovative Keno recessed LED spotlight system. Built into a refined frame system, Keno delivers seamless, flexible illumination with total precision — ensuring consistency and control while remaining discreet within the architecture.

By uniting bespoke craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, Optelma has delivered a lighting solution that is both functional and visually dynamic. The result is a scheme that highlights the architectural beauty of Finsbury Circus while creating a welcoming, memorable environment.
