Snapper & Grouper, Ginza, Tokyo, Japan
The bar in Snapper & Grouper, a restaurant in the heart of Tokyo, Japan, is a multi-cultural melting pot of design styles. Designed to provide its visitors with a Latin flavor, the custom chandeliers use Japanese materials and cutting-edge LED lighting technology from an American company, Color Kinetics.

Five large fixtures, or chandeliers, are located throughout the bar area. These fixtures are made with Japanese paper called "washi." Each fixture contains eight iColor® Cove 12" fixtures controlled with a Color Kinetics Synchronizer to create a vibrant chasing rainbow effect. The designers of the restaurant like Color Kinetics' patented Chromacore® technology not only for the amazing colors and effects they can generate, but also for the low power consumption, little heat production, ultra long source life, and no UV or noise emission.

The result is unique color changing "paper" fixtures that have become the most attractive point in the bar. Color Kinetics color changing lights illuminate the floor through the paper shade, shining a dazzling rainbow and raising a festive Latin mood. Since the front wall of the bar is a glass window, the fixtures can be seen from the sidewalk, delighting pedestrians walking by with a dynamic show of color changing light.
