The Curry Lounge, Nottingham

The Curry Lounge is a 100+ cover restaurant located at the gateway to Nottingham city centre on the Upper Parliament Street, Marian Way and Derby Road roundabout. Recently opened, the restaurant is designed in a contemporary style, taking inspiration from Indian elements and the ingredients of Indian food.

Universal Fibre Optics were contracted by Unknown Design's David Wrigglesworth to supply and install feature fibre optic lighting.

The main feature is a large sweeping 'chandelier' comprising 1800 strands of 3 core polymer side sparkle fibre made into 4 harnesses. These are mounted through the suspended ceiling raft in a spiral formation through the main area of the restaurant to give the effect of colour changing and sparkling strands of light.

Silk drapes around perimeter of the booth seating are lit using Universal Fibre Optics P19 type paver fittings with an internal domed lens to allow focussing of the light. These are supplied with light by 6mm glass fibre in three harnesses to give a colour-changing wash of light.
