Tjep. partnered with Philips Lighting Application Center (LAC) in Eindhoven to create innovative test setups that showcase the power of advanced LED lighting for food and fashion retail. These designs highlight how tailored lighting enhances product visibility and elevates the customer experience through abstract white and transparent forms that emphasize lighting effects.

For supermarkets, the setups optimize aisles, special offers, and fresh produce displays—like seafood and meat—with precise color reproduction. In fashion retail, seductive display windows with abstract elements, vanity lighting for mirrors, and inviting checkout zones encourage impulse purchases.

“A real eye-opener, revealing the transformative power of tailored lighting in retail.”

This project seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology with practical design, redefining how light shapes the shopping experience.
