English term or phrase: double
An impressive building designed by Art_K, it also features designer lighting fixtures that *double as statement sculptures* in the entry area.


Versteht jemand, was da gemeint ist? Beleuchtung(en), die als Skulptur(en) ausgeführt ist/sind?
Ich steh etwas auf dem Schlauch. Dieses "double" als Verb verwirrt mich.

Danke!
