Lighting manufacturer Osram, which celebrates its 110-year brand anniversary this
year, is joined by another famous institution: the Westin Excelsior Hotel in Rome
was opened in 1906 and is therefore celebrating its 110 years anniversary. To mark
the occasion, Claypaky – a company of the Osram group – illuminated the
venerable hotel, whose past guests have already included celebrities like Pablo
Picasso, Elizabeth Taylor and the Rolling Stones, in a particularly spectacular
fashion from November 5 to 20. Following the video projection shown at the Patent
Office in Berlin during the Festival of Light in October, this was the second lighting
installation being presented by Osram for its brand anniversary.
100 luminaires from Claypaky illuminated The Westin Excelsior Rome, designed by
the famous architects Emil Vogt and Otto Maraini. The lighting installation was
designed by lighting designer Giovanni Pinna.
Light equipment featured 24 Claypaky Mythos, 58 Claypaky GlowUp Strip, 4
Claypaky A.leda B-EYE K20, 14 Claypaky GlowUp C and 28 Claypaky IGLOO outdoor
coverings.
The celebrations of Westin Excelsior continued with an exclusive event in
collaboration with UNICEF on November 9, when the hotel hosted 18 talented kids
part of “Orquestra reciclada’ from Paraguay. The Hotel supports UNICEF since 1991.
Osram will be putting a celebratory spotlight on other European attractions through
to the end of the year.
