Tusker House – All

The main light fixture in the new lobby of the Polynesian is probably one of my favorites. It did constitute a challenge to get a good shot of it though. This was one of many attempts, and, as you can see, it's hard the get the whole piece in a single shot.

One of the reasons this fixture is one of my favorites, is because of the way they used the glass balls along with wooden lantern constructions all at varied heights. There is a constant interest when looking up or over in the Polynesian lobby now.

The whole piece seen from across the second floor. From this angle it's much easier to see the way in which the different lanterns are layered so that there is interest from every angle.

I find the glass globes to be some of the most interesting parts. I especially like the glass globes which are partially encased in the wooden frames, like the one in the top left-hand corner of this shot.

The focus of this shot is one of the rope-wrapped glass globes which is surrounded with a wooden frame. Honestly a light like this is what makes the whole thing work. Because it's different from anything you might have in a home, and it plays up the theme of the entire Polynesian resort.

Although you couldn't see it in my other shots, here you can see the bamboo frame which the lanterns are hung from. At this angle, you can also see that there are several of these bamboo frames, which helps to distribute the interest across the expansive lobby.
