Rondo Fano 2 im Hotel Westin Grand Frankfurt

Glassy elegance in the ballroom of the Westin Grand Hotel Frankfurt. Rondo Fano is a collaboration between Isabel Hamm Licht and Buschfeld Design. We have been working together for many years on these aesthetic Rondo Fano chandeliers with many individual glass elements. Now we have had the pleasure of equipping the ballroom of the Westin Grand Frankfurt together. The lighting concept and planning came from Studio Lux, Berlin.

The basis for the Rondo Fano is the Buschfeld lighting track as a double ring with two Led Line uplights. For each of the 12 chandeliers, 330 glass elements were made by hand and placed on the circles. The light emerges from the upper track channels and is refracted several times in the glass elements. The result is extremely atmospheric lighting that can be changed depending on the event in the hall and adapted to the desired atmosphere. In future, the large hall will be used for a wide variety of events: festive gala dinners and family celebrations as well as seminars and workshops. 

Each individual chandelier is suspended centrally by six wire ropes and can be adjusted in height or leveled using cable nozzles. The control gear required for the secondary power supply is housed in the suspended ceiling. A specially painted cover on the ceiling conceals the suspension of the chandelier and allows the glass to speak for itself as an eye-catcher. 

With this order volume, intensive coordination is a prerequisite for successful implementation. The basic structures of the chandeliers were installed first and the almost 4000 glass elements were positioned in a second step. The variously shaped Y and X glasses create a seemingly random arrangement that is typical of Rondo Fano.
