Empire State Building: The Inspiration for a Rare Lighting Collection – Rising above the Manhattan skyline, the Empire State Building has long stood as a symbol of ambition, architectural innovation and timeless glamour. Completed in 1931, its distinctive Art Deco silhouette, dramatic verticality and stepped geometry made it an instant landmark, while its enduring presence has cemented its place among the world’s most recognisable buildings. More than a skyscraper, it represents a particular vision of New York, where scale, sophistication and architectural boldness come together. This architectural masterpiece gave LUXXU the inspiration to create its most iconic lighting piece.

Empire State Building
A Source of Inspiration for a Unique Lighting Collection
It was this unmistakable character that inspired LUXXU’s Empire Collection, translating the language of one of New York’s greatest architectural icons into an expressive lighting series. The collection reimagines the building’s vertical lines, geometric rhythm and monumental proportions through sculptural forms crafted in gold-plated brass and crystal. In this interpretation, the skyline becomes an interior experience, with each design capturing the grandeur and Art Deco spirit that made the Empire State Building an enduring symbol of modern luxury.
The Empire designs draw inspiration from the iconic silhouette of one of New York’s most recognisable architectural icons, the Empire State Building, translating its distinctive Art Deco language into a collection of sculptural lighting designs. Both are defined by a strong sense of verticality, geometric precision and commanding proportions, creating silhouettes that naturally draw the eye upwards. The collection echoes the skyscraper’s stepped architecture through layered forms, elongated structures and carefully balanced lines, giving each piece an unmistakable architectural presence.
This connection goes beyond form, however, extending to a shared sense of grandeur and glamour. Where the Empire State Building transformed steel and stone into a landmark that continues to define the New York skyline, LUXXU reinterprets its monumental character through gold-plated brass and crystal glass. The result is lighting that feels almost architectural in its own right, bringing the spirit of one of the world’s most celebrated Art Deco landmarks into contemporary interiors.
