F1 ARCADE
About F1 Arcade, Washington, DC:
F1 Arcade in Washington, DC, is an electrifying entertainment venue that redefines immersive racing experiences. Blending the high-octane excitement of Formula 1 with upscale hospitality and dynamic design, the venue offers a fully immersive environment for fans and newcomers alike.
Project Details:
F1 Arcade sought a modular lighting solution that would align with the speed, thrill, and visual energy of Formula 1 racing. The challenge was to engineer lighting fixtures that not only captured the aesthetic dynamism of racing but also offered durability, flexibility, and ease of installation in a fast-paced build schedule.
Collaboration and Customization:
Ideoli Group worked closely with Villa Lighting, F1 Arcade, and London-based Anamo Design Studio to develop custom lighting solutions that embodied the brand’s identity and elevated the guest experience. The project required agile coordination across design and construction phases to meet both creative and technical objectives.
Bespoke Lighting Solutions:
Ideoli’s in-house engineering and product design teams created modular, RGBW-enabled LED fixtures with dynamic chase capabilities and full DMX control. These custom fixtures mimicked the curves and kinetic energy of iconic Formula 1 racetracks, transforming the space into a visual homage to motorsport.
Quality and Performance:
Crafted using high-performance materials and optimized for long-term maintenance and retrofitting efficiency, the lighting solutions were engineered to meet sustainability and scalability standards. This ensures that future expansions and design iterations are easily supported.
Recognition:
The project was honored as the Winner in the Best Modular Product Design category at the 2025 Netty Awards—an esteemed recognition that celebrates creativity, innovation, and technical excellence in the digital and design industries. This accolade reflects Ideoli’s ability to push boundaries and deliver industry-leading modular lighting solutions.
Impact:
The success of the F1 Arcade project demonstrates Ideoli Group’s leadership in immersive, high-performance lighting design. It also exemplifies the power of partnership, as the collaboration between Ideoli, Villa Lighting Supply, and Anamo Design Studio resulted in a product that elevated the space far beyond standard expectations.
