New Retail Stores
IMEG’s lighting design team (Illuminating Concepts) provided both interior lighting design for Spence Diamonds as they made their debut in the U.S. market.
Showroom design inspiration was taken from high-end luxury car dealerships and fashion runways, consisting of clean spaces and minimalized fixtures with product at center stage. Challenges came in how to specifically light freestanding all-glass “cube” jewelry display vitrines that had no structure in which to conceal lighting fixtures, and in mitigating potential glare from highly-reflective gems and glass that dominate the all-white space. To address this, our team crafted:
- Miniature 5000K spotlights on vertical stanchions mounted at interior corners of casework illuminate fine jewelry while remote drivers were integrated into the base under pull out lockable drawers.
- Casework at side walls incorporated an integrated 5300K edgelit panel. The top edge of the panel is translucent to allow light spill onto textured wall.
- A departure from the main showroom space, the lounge seating area is lit to a lower level with indirect lighting and an integral LED pendant.
- Miniature track and 5000K track heads mounted at front top edge of window display vitrines showcase jewelry on display while allowing view into the store.
