Inspired by the lighting effects of New York's 42nd Street, the agency aimed to create some visual effects for their clients while respecting the neo-classical style of the building from which they operated. Light was projected from the inside out onto the street thanks to a programmed lighting system which seemed to suggest movement. Inside, the dancing reflections and shadows caught in large mirrors created an expressionist, yet intimate aura. The travel agency however, no longer exists.
