Inspired by Nature: Discover the Exquisite New Library Lobby Fixture

Introducing the stunning new lobby fixture at our library, designed by the talented team at Lake Flato Architects! Inspired by the foliage and branch geometry of the site's trees, this sculptural and delicate piece beautifully complements the wood wall's narrative. The "branches" are crafted from metal rods, while the "leaves" are unique fiberglass forms, each carefully pressed into shape. This artistic masterpiece is a collaboration with Warbach Lighting and Design, whose dedication to craftsmanship brought this complex vision to life.

Once the library opens this fall, come check out this beauty in person! Visit cedarparktexas.gov/NewLibrary for construction updates.
