Custom cove lighting at office center lobby

At the prestigious 280 Park Avenue in New York City, Belfer Lighting designed and manufactured a suite of custom linear LED lighting fixtures tailored for the building’s upscale lobbies, public corridors, and common areas. This iconic Midtown Manhattan office tower, known for its refined renovations and high-end tenant spaces, required clean, efficient lighting that would elevate the architectural expression of the interiors without compromising performance.

Lighting Solution

Belfer’s custom-engineered linear LED fixtures were fabricated with precision to integrate seamlessly into ceilings and architectural elements. Features include:

  • Low-profile recessed linear housings for minimal visual disruption

  • High-performance LED arrays delivering uniform illumination

  • Custom lengths tailored to project specifications

These linear fixtures provided both functional light and a clean visual rhythm throughout the high-traffic interior spaces, reinforcing the building’s sleek, modern aesthetic.

Challenges & Innovations

The design team faced the challenge of preserving the minimalist look of newly renovated ceilings while delivering code-compliant, energy-efficient lighting. Belfer engineered flush-mounted linear systems that blended into plaster and wood ceilings, incorporating continuous run capabilities and integrated junction access for maintenance.

With attention to detail, finish, and ease of installation, Belfer ensured that each lighting element supported the overall design intent of a luxury commercial environment.

Results

Belfer’s custom linear LED lighting systems now contribute to the refined visual identity of 280 Park Avenue. The fixtures provide both architectural clarity and lighting comfort—delivering a premium experience for tenants and visitors alike.
