Editor note
Custom golden display lightboxes with brushed finish, fabricated by Viabizzuno for APL SoHo. Viabizzuno is an Italian architectural lighting manufacturer based in Bentivoglio (Bologna) — the firm's product register is integrated bespoke lighting for architects and design practices, not metalwork. The APL trophy boxes are lit display vitrines: the architectural argument is the integration of light into the display object, not the metal case alone. The aesthetic reading is unambiguous — elevated, illuminated, gold-cased trophies. The material argument holds: performance sneakers displayed in lit gold vitrines at cultural-institution register. Specification is bespoke Viabizzuno commission. UK trade route is Cirrus Lighting (London), the documented Viabizzuno UK distributor for architectural lighting commissions. Count per full set not publicly disclosed — the boxes populate the main floor and the fitting-room-adjacent zone as the primary product display apparatus.
