China Town at the centre of the British metropolis. Dim Sum, the chef does the cooking right in front of the guests. Small dishes, broiled, roasted or deep-fried, filled with meat, vegetables or fruit served on china or in bamboo baskets. With your dish you take a glass of delicious aromatic tea or a refreshing cocktail. The cooking area is brightly lit by Mangelberger LightControl, transformed as it were into a stage, with the audience enjoying the sensation of a warm and slightly mysterious atmosphere.
The interplay of design and islands of light is planned down to the last detail. At Ping Pong nothing is left to chance. And nothing is left to human fallibility either, since the light source adjusts itself constantly but imperceptibly to daylight and the brightness outside – which is something that simply can't be done manually. But LightControl does more than just create a special atmosphere for the food and the interior. It has a vitally important role to play in the area of energy management: it means a saving of up to 45% of the energy needed for illumination by traditional means and manually operated switches.
