Lighting in Design August-September 2016

Fondations is a further example: this authentic, timed attraction takes visitors back to the 19 th centu- ry, when the company was founded.The innovation here lies in the use of early cinema (and lighting) techniques developed during the same industrial age. By combining shadow play, magic lanterns, ombres Chinoises and more, illusion becomes real- ity. Light designer Pelle Herfst (Rapenburg Plaza) brought the various spaces to life. “It is a true play, albeit without actual actors. Along with technology that reflects the spirit of the age, light is used in a way that contributes to the authentic feel of the experience,” says Tinker.
