Date Announced: 08 Nov 2007 Rotterdam, The Netherlands -– On October 23rd 2007, the historic City Hall of Antwerp, Belgium, was reopened. LED lighting plays a key role in this new shopping mall. The contemporary interior design and the innovative LED lighting technology make up a perfect good match, combining tradition and modernity.On the centre of the facade inside the city hall, a uniquely designed wall of various sized mirror panels is one of the most conspicuous art objects of this prestigious project. This masterpiece was designed by HAR Hollands and Studio Maramoja, and is composed of specially designed mirror wall profiles, diverse sized steel frames, and tailor-made laminated mirrored glass for optimal transmission of light. The mirror tiles fit seamlessly on the steel frame by rest on silicone profiles.
