Our approach
To bring the vision to life, the Open Staff team installed a custom display usingTwinkly lights, wrapping the 6 grand entrance columns (each 6 meters tall) in a total of 70,000 smart LEDs. Thanks toTwinkly’s3D mapping technology, the entire setup was perfectly calibrated in a single mapping session, allowing the lighting effects to adapt to the architectural features with 3-dimensional effects and animations.
The results
The unique installation elevated the hotel’s façade, turning a traditional entrance into a modern work of LED art. This project beautifully illustrates how lighting design can influence mood, highlight architectural beauty, and create emotional connections in the hospitality sector.

Project specifications
Group Type
Each of the 6 columns were managed as one single installation was managed as one grand object thanks to Twinkly's in-app grouping functionality: Join.
Mapping Type
Each of the grand columns was mapped using Twinkly's Multi-view mapping, scanning from multiple locations around it to recreate a faithful 3D-layout.
Effects Management
The client used a selection of Twinkly preset effects available in the Twinkly mobile app, creating a carousel of animations that play in a selected order.
Remote Control
Thanks to the cloud connectivity the client was able to manage the display's schedule and programs from anywhere, even from a different city.
