Manufacturers Team Up To Add Sparkle to Summertime Shopping A South Yorkshire laser cutting specialist has teamed up with decorative lighting experts Northern Lights to create a dazzling feature in one of the country’s busiest shopping malls. Cutting Technologies, based in Barnsley, laser cut 6,400 delicate shapes which are now captivating shoppers in a stunning display in Meadowhall's Upper Mall. The concept was designed by Wakefield-based interior designers The Harris Partnership, who approached Chesterfield-based Northern Lights to bring their idea to life. The Cutting Technologies team was then given the job of laser cutting the thousands of abstract shapes from clear Perspex™ and shiny stainless steel, which twinkle as they catch the light and give the impression of falling leaves cascading from the centre’s iconic glass roof. Eight sculptures were installed in the main hall with a further two at the mall entrance.
