Like POV have installed lights at Jimbo & Rex
Jimbo & Rex is a redevelopment of an existing pub, with new interiors designed by Mim Design for Crown Melbourne. The decorative lighting design style takes its cue from Miriam Fanning's interior design, characterised by the use of natural materials such as wood, stone, ceramic tiles, cotton canvas and copper.
The feature lighting by POV includes bespoke contemporary chandeliers made of glass and copper, and being able to see the light source in this way gives the lighting a traditional feel. Mirror finishes around the bar and seating areas reflect light throughout the space adding sparkle and glow.
Concealed lighting is used to illuminates vertical surfaces. A choice was made to wash the light to increase brightness in the space without the use of excessive ambient lighting. Other vertical surfaces such as bottle displays and artworks are accented either by integral lighting or concealed customized spotlights. Other features that are accent lit include porcelain plates, trees, pot plants and a double height art wall made out of recycled timber. Allowing contrasts was important for the display of these elements.
