Tivoli, the original innovator of linear LED solutions, has announced the release of a new case study on the lighting design of HUGO BOSS retail stores located on both U.S. Coasts. The case study highlights the lighting design of the high end specialty men’s and women’s HUGO BOSS retail stores in two California locations (South Coast Plaza—Costa Mesa, CA. & Beverly Center—Los Angeles, CA.) and the new east coast location at Time Warner Center in New York City.

Visual Terrain, an award-winning design firm with offices in Los Angeles, Chicago and Connecticut was responsible for the project lighting design in these store locations. The design team worked closely with Tivoli Lighting engineers to find the perfect solution for a variety of specific lighting applications required throughout each retail location. The case study focuses on the storefront illumination solutions developed for the South Coast Plaza and Time Warner Center locations and the unique 3D effects created by Tivoli’s Illumiline product illuminating a mixed medium of wire mesh.

The paper guides readers thru the specific details and color matching challenges of matching existing fluourescent color temperatures with LED sources to maintain color consistency throughout the design.

The challenge was to make sure that all the sources in the store matched as closely as possible since there can be many variations of 3000°K. To achieve the color consistency and visually coordinate with the 3000°K fluorescent fixtures, Visual Terrain relied on Tivoli’s custom color temperature mixing capabilities. Tivoli’s Coveline 120™ product was specified and manufactured with a custom color specifically developed for Hugo Boss. This color was formulated to coordinate with fluorescent elements still in use in displays in the store so that a consistent color was achieved.

The new case study is available for download from the Tivoli Lighting website and can be found in the “Resources” tab of the home page. As the first manufacturer to introduce indicator type LEDs into tubing, aisle and step lighting products, Tivoli, LLC continues to lead the market in emerging LED linear lighting solutions in the commercial, theatrical and specification market.
