A South Yorkshire laser cutting specialist has teamed up with decorative lighting experts\u00a0<\/span>Northern Lights<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to create a dazzling feature in one of the country\u2019s busiest shopping malls.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cutting Technologies<\/span><\/a>, based in Barnsley, laser cut 6,400 delicate shapes which are now captivating shoppers in a stunning display in Meadowhall’s\u00a0Upper Mall.<\/span><\/p>\n

The concept was designed by Wakefield-based interior designers\u00a0<\/span>The Harris Partnership<\/span><\/a>, who approached Chesterfield-based Northern Lights to bring their idea to life.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Cutting Technologies team was then given the job of laser cutting the thousands of abstract shapes from clear Perspex\u2122 and shiny stainless steel, which twinkle as they catch the light and give the impression of falling leaves cascading from the centre\u2019s iconic glass roof. Eight sculptures were installed in the main hall\u00a0with a further two at the mall entrance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jane Robinson, co-founder and director at Cutting Technologies, said: \u201cIt\u2019s always a pleasure to work on Northern Lights\u2019 fantastic projects, and the delicate nature of this one\u2019s design is perfect for laser cutting. Our recent investment in state of the art technology, including two Fiber lasers, makes jobs like these easier than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to have such a stunning showcase for the combined skills of the two companies right on our doorsteps, and good for staff at both firms to be able to show off their talents locally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Paul Wade, Managing Director at Northern Lights, added: \u201cWe\u2019ve worked with Cutting Technologies on a range of projects now, some as far afield as Dubai. But it\u2019s been good to work on a project a little closer to home this time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCutting Technologies always offers us a first rate service and understand the challenges of the design process. It makes our lives much easier to work with laser cutting specialists who combine engineering expertise with a good grasp of design and aesthetics.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
