For the Harley-Davidson Cafe, he used chasing lights to focus on a collection of vintage motorcycles. Seven bikes are displayed on a conveyor belt that is suspended from the ceiling. Lights play off the bikes' chrome and metal surfaces. And those reflections, like the example of the rotating mirror ball, dazzle the eye. This type of lighting isolates tables.
Customers get the feeling of their own little space.
A room filled with clusters of private spaces doesn't seem large or impersonal. The pools of light can be used to read the menu. Isolating tables or people isn't the priority for the Harley-Davidson Cafe. To achieve the feel of a collective experience in the dining room, Haverson uses general ambient lighting. The cafe celebrates an American icon.
