ROVASI lights up the CAU Restaurant in Blackheath, UK.

[Englische Version]

Whether for pleasure, entertainment or even for business, hotels and restaurants are highly frequented places. Knowing that the human body is highly sensitive to the illumination of its environment allows us to understand why the luminaires installed in places such as hotels and restaurants are so important. Indeed, the lighting provided in these spaces influences the feelings and even has positive psychological effects on the guests.

The aim of CAU (Carne Argentina Única) Restaurants is to capture the vibrancy of Buenos Aires within four walls. Their vision was to capture that spirit in a restaurant that would fit right into the heart of Palermo, Buenos Aires. For this reason, interior designer Patsy Godik, creative director of design studio Conceptualise, decided that the walls should become the soaring skies of thepampas, with corrugated steel to simulate the roofs of Buenos Aires' La Boca neighbourhood and, in a playful twist, the ceiling is the lush green pastures on which their cattle grazed.

Keeping all these points in mind, the lighting designers in charge of the CAU Restaurant in Blackheath chose BSQ luminaires by ROVASI to light and give a warm atmosphere to this place. BSQ are trimless effect square downlights. They are available in a range of lighting sources: halogen, metal halide and LED. The finish for the fixtures of this project was our black finish, RAL9005, Jet Black.
