Carousel Lights was chosen to produce illuminated signage for Harvey Nichols’ famous restaurant

Multi-award-winning British lighting and signage producer, Carousel Lights, was chosen to illuminate Harvey Nichols’ famous ‘The Fifth Floor’ restaurant with stunning signage.

Having expanded to 14 locations globally, the well-known retailer turned to Carousel Lights to design and produce decorative lighting for its restaurant windows, creating a standout feature.

Carousel Lights has worked with Harvey Nichols on many occasions including producing illuminated signage for the Kidswear department, Menswear department, and its brasserie in London’s Oxo Tower.

One of its more significant projects however was the iconic 2020 post-pandemic Christmas windows where Carousel supplied the BAH HUMBUG – BRING ON 2021! Neon SuperFlex signage which was widely featured across the national press.

For the new lighting in Harvey Nichols’ ‘The Fifth Floor’ restaurant, Carousel Lights used RGBQ LED tape fitted inside 2m metal channels with an opal face for even distribution of light. From this, colour changes and animated sequences can be created with a push of a button on a hand-held remote.

The lighting can be changed depending on the desired ambience for different themes

Lights can also be dimmed to produce the desired ambience with subtle colour hues, or the opposite effect can be achieved with a multi-colour display with lights changing colour and flashing on and off.

From this one system, hundreds of different colour themes can be achieved such as pink or red for Valentine’s Day, multicoloured for Pride, or green for St Patrick's Day.

“The team at Harvey Nichols are an absolute joy to work with and we were honoured to have been appointed by them for this project,” says Ben Reynolds, co-founder of Carousel Lights.

“The part of our job that we enjoy the most is understanding a client’s creative vision and then translating it into a practical reality with the wide range of lighting and signage elements that we offer. The result on The Fifth Floor looks as incredible as the team envisaged.”
