Exclusive Acrylic manufactures world's largest acrylic chandelier

Lighting fixture features cutting edge computer controlled LED lighting system

Dubai, UAE May 31, 2007 - Exclusive Acrylic, a partner of Emirates Investment and Development PSC (Emivest), has created the world's largest acrylic chandelier which will be installed at the Sports City Tower in Doha next month. Measuring approximately 10m x 5m, this cone shaped chandelier features a cutting edge, computer controlled LED lighting system capable of running custom lighting programs and sequences.

Mr. Bodhi Brandes, Executive Director of Exclusive Acrylic, enthusiastically noted: "The chandelier will light up the skies of Doha when it is installed on top of the spectacular Sports City Tower - Doha's tallest tower - which was converted into a massive torch during the recent Asian Games. It has been chemically bound with the help of smaller pieces brought together to create near invisible joints. Once installed, it will make a striking statement for Qatar skyline."

The lights within the chandelier can be exposed and serviced by electronically lowering the cone tip to the floor. The cone itself has been designed as a pendulum which alleviates any forces that would be applied to it from the building's own movement (which is said to be approximately 300mm - 500mm on a windy day).

Mr. Brandes feels this architecturally complex marvel will enhance the tower's beauty with its extraordinary lighting. "The designers have created a large chandelier with incredible illumination that exceeds all expectations," he added.

This breathtaking lighting fixture is made up of a special light-diffusion acrylic imported from Germany. With five designers and 25 highly-skilled fabricators, it took the company six months to complete all aspects of design and creation.

Exclusive Acrylic's other projects include the pyramids at Wafi City and the 'Ramadan' and 'X-mas' themes at the Mall of the Emirates. Other projects include: The Abu Dhabi Rotana Beach Hotel Skylight, The Royal Guards Skylights, Abu Dhabi Armed Forces Officers Club, Large Aquariums, extensive work on Private Villas as well as a multitude of internationally recognized custom made acrylic structures.
