Edited by the Interiorstalk editorial team Feb 5, 2010

Bruce Munro has completed a lighting project at the Queen's Theatre in London's West End.

Producer Cameron Mackintosh contracted Munro to illuminate the historic theatre, where 'Les Miserables', where one of his most famous musicals, is showing.

For the project, Munro has created two contemporary chandeliers as well as front-tier balcony lights and general lighting for the entire Grade II-listed theatre.

The outer shell of the Queen's Theatre is modern, while the interior is Edwardian.

Munro's glass and fibre-optic Snowball Chandelier in the first-floor bar can be seen from Shaftesbury Avenue, where the theatre is situated.

Installed with a colour wheel projector, it can change colour or remain clear.

Inside the auditorium is the central chandelier, which Munro has designed to reflect the Edwardian style of the interior.

He has also supplied wall lights with squirrel lamps in Edwardian style to hang along the dress circle.

Munro's wall lights with metal diffusers are more contemporary in style.
