Electrosonic leads the way to human-centric lighting at OR Tambo

By Nicole Barnes

The new International SLOW lounge at Johannesburg’s OR Tambo Airport is tailor-made for the unique needs of people in transit between Johannesburg and the rest of the world. The lounge is the largest in the SLOW group and leads the pack in both luxury and functionality for travelers in one of Africa’s most important business destinations.

The installation at OR Tambo was completed in several phases. Phase one was a comprehensive fit-out of the new 900m2 that was earmarked for the SLOW lounge. This was followed by an extensive renovation of the existing lounge space. The facility upgrades needed to simultaneously respect the existing SLOW brand cues, and update the existing scheme to something modern and sophisticated in look and feel.

This transformation was possible due to an expert team of suppliers, contractors and consultants from various fields collaborating to achieve optimal results. Due consideration was given to striking a balance between functionality and aesthetics and staying in line with international trends. A critical part of this was incorporating a dynamic, sophisticated lighting design.
