ILLUMINATING IDENTITY : HOW TELEKOM ’ S DÜSSELDORF FLAGSHIP REDEFINES RETAIL LIGHTING
Telekom ’ s newly redesigned flagship store in Düsseldorf is a prime example of how lighting can enhance brand identity and customer experience . Spread across three floors and 584 m ², the modern experience centre invites both private and business clients to explore products in consultation areas , sales and demonstration zones , a cosy lounge and a coffee bar .
From inception , the project was guided by sustainability and refined design , utilising eco-friendly materials and renewable energy . Energy-efficient LED luminaires have significantly reduced the store ’ s environmental footprint while enabling advanced lighting control via Bluetooth Low Energy , which permits pre-programmed scenes to transform spaces seamlessly throughout the day .
Visual storytelling plays a key role , with backlit images of iconic local landmarks and curved light pathways that skilfully guide visitors . Striking design elements include decorative luminaires creating a ‘ swarm ’ effect above the escalators and illuminated origami cranes that pay homage to Düsseldorf ’ s notable Japanese heritage . This project demonstrates how innovative , sustainable lighting can elevate a retail environment and reinforce a brand ’ s core identity . www . trilux . com
