Scope
Francis Krahe & Associates developed the lighting design for the introduction of this French retail cosmetics store in the United States. The project scope included architectural lighting, lighting integral to product display units, display graphics, and sign illumination. The comprehensive lighting design package was developed to reinforce the store identity and brand, enhance the perception of quality, and maintain the focus on the product. Custom fixtures were developed to respond to the specific requirements of the store program. A three phase bid process was developed to increase competition and reduce cost for the procurement of the lighting equipment for the roll out of 50 stores for the year 1999. A master lighting guideline was developed for distribution to Sephora’s project architects for the fixture layout, specification, and construction document coordination.
