When the management of ThirdLove, the online lingerie retailer, sought to open a pop-up store, they presented architect Aida Ly Architecture and Focus Lighting with their design brief. It contained four important objectives: fast-track design and construction; make the space open, comfortable, and inviting; create an outstanding retail store on a limited budget; and use colors and lighting to flatter the customer and the products.
For the dressing rooms, the team at Focus Lighting decided to concentrate on the Philips Hue line of wirelessly controlled color-changing fixtures and lamps. “Many ordinary dressing rooms have a single overhead light that causes shadows and does nothing to flatter skin tones,” explains Brett Anderson, partner and studio director for Focus Lighting. Existing track fixtures for PAR 30 and PAR 38 were used with new screw-in LEDs.
