Desroches is a private island based in the Seychelles and the lighting design had to be non invasive and we tried to prevent most light pollution, in other word all light fixtures had specific task and no more. Giant sea turtles is also of great concern with regard to the lighting design when laying eggs they always return to the place, light washing across the beach or from new buildings structures can disorientate the Turtles. Cobinlight designed and custom made many of the light fittings to the Architect and clients requirements also taking into account the extreme corrosion environment on the island. The result is a magnificent retreat with mostly natural materials and very soft lighting blending in the natural landscape.
