From the top floors of the Ayana Midplaza Hotel, the view at Jakarta’s shining city center is at your fingertips. But the most sparkling object isn´t out there on the horizon but inside this luxury lifestyle hotel. From the top of the lobby, the crystal palm leaves are raining down in an elegant dance.
Thousands of glass pieces are beaded onto wires, one after another. Sounds like Sisyphean work but a look at the giant leaves forming a twelve-meter long lighting installation is definitely worth it.
