Man’s biggest quest in every endeavour is to imitate nature - which he holds as a benchmark of perfection.

So as lighting control specialists when we received a brief to create a perfect indoor environment that imitated outdoor lighting at Mattel Playtown it was a perfect opportunity to attempt imitating Nature at its best.

Mattel Playtown, Dubai’s latest eduplay attraction set to open soon at City Walk is a purpose built facility featuring engaging and stimulating play experiences along with live shows that will encourage imagination among children.

At Playtown, we used eDIN range of products to control the remaining functional and architectural lights which is used to create multiple scenes and dynamic sequences; All the scenes can be recalled using 3 touch screens (1 for each floor).

We supported lead interior designer ISG during the tender stage. ISG specified Mode Lighting (Architectural Dimming System).

“We provided design support to ISG in terms of wiring, DMX looping, cable specifications etc., The entire set up is integrated via an A-V system (which permits scenes to be triggered during shows) and an Intruder Detection System (which sets off an alarm in which all the Functional/Architectural lights reach maximum brightness when an intruder is detected).”

The end result is one in which the children will be able to engage in a fulfilling experience in an environment that does not leave them with tired eyes. More so it will offer operators effective and ease of control at every stage.
