A unique partnership between the Diller-von Furstenberg Family Foundation and Hudson River Park Trust, Little Island was born from the opportunity to envision a solution for the repair and renovation of Pier 54 and reimagine an entirely new type of public space for New York City, one that would create an immersive experience with nature and art. Fisher Marantz Stone created the lighting design for this innovative park. Lighting designers Enrique Garcia-Carrera, Paul Marantz, and Carla Ross Allen lead this walk through their vision for Little Island. In the evening, the festively illuminated park can be noticed from a distance while strolling along the Hudson River Park Esplanade, which runs from Chambers to West 59th Street. The historic Cunard-White Star Line Arch, newly restored and sparkling with light, acts as an entry beacon leading to the luminous bridge and the uplit concrete pots supporting the park. Once on site, explore the various highlighted paths, ramps, and stairs, take in a show in the amphitheater, or simply marvel at the unparalleled views of New York City, the Hudson River, and New Jersey.
