Lighting store – ” Shifting planes make new spaces.”
With a floor area of 1500sft came a given where the equation of the space would alter every week. At the entry is the curve reception table with quotes and wall display, the central space has the drop light section , on either sides are the table light and it leads to the gallery, conference with graphic posters and quotes designed as a theme, and the bar areas with a back office doubling up as store and washroom. On the other end is the den with the tv watching and client interaction space which opens up to the facade with the tree landscape and the street view.
By the onset of the products the space compliments and feel all the more belonged, and the dynamics of the space makes the statement.
As a design process it was imperative to look at something new. Although not in terms of an object, or material or tactile approach but deeper. We looks at an experience.
It was still about experience, translated in to a setting. Walls feel like they move, they make a deceptive abstract movement when you walk amidst them. Impermanence brings something new every time a new product is place in this setting, allowed free display of products that feel fresh in the space.These free planes negate the geometry of the floor and bring together the abstraction of displayed lights, quotes that speak of the ethos loud and clear were inserted to emancipate the user experience and to break the conventions.
The conference and the entry tables are designed as a single moving plane that turns to make the enigmatic tables that feel so very belonged.
Designer note :
“The store took a stand and leaned towards wanting a space that would reflect the essence of this growing design sensitivity and this being the most important aspect of our building industry, or can one say, of everyone’s lives. The ‘light industry’ – thus carveing its own space this award-winning light store and its evolution in to a pristine brand “
