Intu Lakeside Mall

Glamorous lighting features that enrich the retail journey through artistry, scale, and storytelling.

Interior designer

KONCEPT ID and Leah Rhodes Walker Architects

Summary

In collaboration with KONCEPT ID and Leah Rhodes Walker Architects, Northern Lights was commissioned to develop a suite of bespoke lighting features for the refurbishment of Intu Lakeside Mall. The design intent was to enhance the shopping journey with glamorous, contemporary lighting installations that would act as focal points, connect the mall’s upper and lower floors, and reflect the fluidity and dynamism of the overall interior scheme.

Fittings supplied

Laser-cut elevator feature, upper & lower floor globe feature, caged metal 'feather' pendants, and modern curved flush ceiling lights.

Working from the designers’ vision of Glamourluxe - a curated blend of clean lines, soft curves, and luxurious finishes - our team developed a lighting collection that would deliver both visual impact and refined elegance throughout the mall.

Above the key escalator voids, large-scale ceiling features were installed to draw the eye and encourage flow between floors. Using our specialist laser cutter, hundreds of precision prisms were crafted in varying sizes and finished in polished brass. Suspended on a mix of steel wire and gold braided flex, each piece interacts with the light in a different way, creating a dazzling effect from every angle.

To connect the mall’s vertical space, we designed and installed an impressive cascade of blow-moulded glass globes, suspended from three oval ceiling plates. With a mirror-polished underside and dual internal lamps, the fluid arrangement spills from the upper level to the lower, forming a sculptural centrepiece visible throughout the space.

Subtle brand storytelling was woven into the scheme through hand-crafted pendants that reference Intu’s joy bird logo. Polished brass frames encase soft green, feather-like elements and leaf shapes - each one individually shaped, formed, and finished by our artisans.

To complement these statement pieces, a series of modern curved ceiling lights were fabricated in mild steel with integrated illumination. Finished in gold and gloss white, they reflect the wider material palette and add soft ambient light across circulation areas.

The result is a collection of distinctive lighting installations that elevate the interior architecture, create moments of delight, and echo the sense of luxury and fluid movement at the heart of the design brief.
