Opening umbrellas indoors brings good luck to Cundall's Sydney office

I saw this space as an opportunity to display 'Under my Umbrella', a light installation that was originally part of Vivid in 2017, and had just returned from Frankfurt, Germany where it had been included in the Light + Building, Xicato Stand.
The result is a dramatic yet fun entrance to the office. The lights are programmed to turn on at 4:00 pm and switch off at 8:00 pm, while a phone app or wireless switch allows users to set programmed lighting displays that can be used during events hosted at the office.
It has been a great talking point with visitors to the office and our Sydney staff love it. My Light4 colleagues in Manchester have commented that umbrellas are more appropriate for their city, especially as it was installed when NSW was declared in a drought!
