An emphasis on custom decorative fi xtures characterizes
Lighting designer David Singer on his
longtime partnership with tonychi studio
David Singer fi rst met Tony Chi in 1992 to discuss the lighting
design for the Harley Davidson Café in New York. " The fi rst words
out of his mouth were, 'I hate lighting designers because all they
want to do is sell equipment,' " Singer recalls. Yet, Singer and Chi
found common ground, and from this initial interaction bloomed
a partnership and friendship that has endured long aſt er the
shutt ered eatery.
Principal in lighting for Arc Light Design, tonychi studio's inhouse
lighting studio, Singer has collaborated with the fi rm for
nearly 30 years to create lighting that is instrumental in capturing
the essence of a space. " We're taking the light and we're positioning
it so you understand what tonychi studio thinks is a feature of the
room, " Singer says.
the collaborations between Singer and the studio, which Singer
estimates number nearly 300 projects over the last three decades.
Moreover, Singer's pieces share an unpolished, earthen materiality
that responds to the fi rm's well-choreographed design. " We balance
the interiors with fi xtures that off er a glitt ery glow, giving the space
a litt le sparkle and texture, " he says. The lights are not meant to
take centerstage, he explains, but contribute to the ambiance.
At the Park Hyatt Kyoto, for example, Singer developed a
sconce for the suites that make the 8-foot-tall ceilings feel larger. " It
is a delicate fi xture where the head looks larger while everything
else is minimal and elegant, " he says. " We wanted to create
something that was a nice, soſt marshmallow on a stick but with a
unique twist. "
Singer continues to evolve the studio's vision by creating
fi xtures that marry a Western coziness with an Eastern sense
of comfort. " The work we've done together, " he says, " has had a
[lasting] eff ect on the industry. " hd
