Alma Lusa, Portugal

The historic heart of Lisbon is home to a growing collection of luxurious boutique hotels aimed at the sophisticated traveller. One of the latest is the Alma Lusa, set in an 18th century Portuguese mansion.

Astro's local partner Astratec supplied Atelier, Padova and Luga wall lights, Parma plaster lights plus trimless, inset Blanco downlights. "Last year when I saw the new Atelier range I felt it was the right product to create the look that we were after" says owner Miguel Simoes De Almeida. "The Atelier has an industrial style that fits in perfectly with the 'old meets new' look of the rooms, while the Atelier arm assembly with the clamp is the perfect solution for lighting the restaurant."
