We are excited to announce the recently revamped first floor of the Halifax Shopping Centre called The Terrace with the addition of VISO custom fabrication lights. The Architect commissioned VISO expert design, engineering and manufacturing know-how for this project to deliver and install these custom fabricated decorative light sculptures. These sculptural light fixtures are the area’s centerpieces, and showcase what VISO does best!

VISO custom lights fabrication team constructed the art piece to reminisce ocean life. Four identical fixtures suspend 270 glass pendants to combine a total of 1108 units. Called “The Fish”, each fixture descends from a 4-inch metal arch for stability, and to support the 10 feet drop and 300lbs weight.

Especially relevant to the success of this project is the design of a drop with multiple fish pendants. The fish pendants are arranged to create a colour gradient from dark blue to light blue to resemble the ocean. Installed in vertical stacks, 36 aircraft cables hold each fish precisely in place. Accurate spacing and fish drop distribution is achieved by alternating angles of 20°, 21°, 17° and 23°. Recessed LED bulbs illuminate each fish for a unique light refraction and bridges the gap between the nearby ocean and shopping centre.
