Tradition and innovation at the heart of European luxury
Dior, a brand synonymous with luxury and sophistication, has continued its tradition of excellence and innovation in Germany, consolidating its presence as one of the leading fashion houses in the competitive European luxury market.
With its unmistakable emphasis on quality, innovative design and exceptional craftsmanship, Dior has captured the imagination and loyalty of a discerning clientele.
The brand has demonstrated a unique ability to balance its rich heritage with a progressive vision, introducing novelty in both its designs and product presentation.
A prime example of this advancement is their recent project that used lighting technology to create dynamic visual experiences in their stores and lighting effects for window displays, enhancing the display of their products and enriching the shopping experience for their customers.
Through these strategies, Dior has not only consolidated its position in the German market but has also contributed to defining global fashion and luxury trends.
Actilum, a leader in advanced lighting solutions, has set a milestone with its recent project for Dior in Germany at its stores in Hamburg, Munich and Berlin, implementing dynamic lightboxes with Actilum Pixel technology that transform the shopping experience.
Strategic lighting
Igniting the shopping experience and energy efficiency
The types of lighting and the type of luminaire chosen for a retail store directly influence the shopping experience, playing a key role in how customers are attracted to the objects on display and the range of products.
In this context, light plays a key role not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also from an energy point of view, where the aim is to maximize efficiency while creating an environment that encourages buying behavior.
The appropriate choice and distribution of lighting fixtures allows to provide illumination that highlights the products without generating soft shadows that may distort the perception of colors and textures, becoming an essential element to capture the customer’s attention.
Shaping consumer perception and behavior
In the development of lighting solutions for the retail sector, decision making regarding lighting levels and the selection of suitable luminaires play a decisive role.
The integration of Actilum Pixel with DMX offers the ability to control LED lighting systems pixel by pixel using the DMX protocol. This allows the creation of very precise and synchronized lighting effects with other audiovisual elements, improving the cohesion and visual impact of presentations or installations.
The flexibility of DMX combined with the precision of Actilum Pixel’s pixel-by-pixel control makes creative and technically advanced lighting implementations possible.
These aspects not only affect the way products are viewed and valued by customers, but also impact the overall store environment, contributing to a positive and memorable shopping experience.
Therefore, Actilum focuses on the development of solutions that not only seek to embellish and highlight the objects on display, but also to positively influence purchasing behavior through the creation of environments that invite exploration and discovery, thus reinforcing brand image and consumer loyalty.
Project development
The challenge presented by Dior was to create a Christmas visual experience that would stand out in the European retail environment.
Actilum responded with a trend-setting solution: dynamic lightboxes with Actilum Pixel technology, designed to generate light and color effects that capture the essence of the holiday season.
The structure of each lightbox was based on a Dibond support provided by the great company THYSSENKRUPP PLASTIC IBERICA, a material selected for its quality to support the installation of Actilum’s LED PCB boards.
These PCB’s, arranged every 75 mm along the entire surface, allowed a targeted distribution of light to each product or element to be highlighted, essential for the desired visual effect.
On this technical basis, a graphic layer was placed, illuminated by LEDs to create dynamic effects of movement and flashes. This work is done through programming for point-to-point synchronization with various graphic elements.
This lighting technique not only enhances the image, but also adds a unique glow and holiday effect, capturing the attention of passersby and improving product visibility.
Creation of multidimensional environments
Objects and fragrances in a new light
In addition, the implementation of decorative elements and perfumes on front layers, illuminated by Luxpanel form circles synchronized with lightbox pixel using Actilum’s pixel ecosystem brain.
