MY LIGHTING DESIGNS ARE INSPIRED BY MY DEEP IMMERSION IN NEW ZEALAND’S NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.

 

EURO


2020

Tucked away on the famous Princess Wharf is Euro, a renowned restaurant that needs no introduction. With a revamp on the cards in late 2019, James Russ and Ctrl Space collaborated to create a new lighting aesthetic for this iconic establishment. The challenge was to enhance the atmosphere of the high stud, vast open space while infusing a touch of softness and intimacy. The result was the contemporary Candelabras - innovative hollowed-out candles that emit a whimsical light, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Focal bar lights were strategically placed to provide a subtle wash of warmth, enhancing the overall dining experience for Euro's discerning customers.

Euro has since closed its doors.
