Slot Recessed Wall Light by David Chipperfield

This wall light will serve as an excellent way finding light in the coffee shop. I also saw similar lights used to light a bathroom this summer, and I loved the streamlined simplicity. In a small, enclosed space like a bathroom, this floor to ceiling light provided ample brightness. However, I think that this light would be best as a guiding/wayfinding fixture in a hallway, as in the above photo since lighting vertical surfaces is a good way to guide the eye through the space.

On the other hand, these lights could also be utilized in a grouping to highlight a specific feature. I envision a group of tightly spaced slot lights on or behind the coffee bar to draw attention to this central location.
