Xi’an SKP
Xi’an SKP builds on the commercial identity of Beijing SKP, bringing international luxury retail to the former capital of China. Besides the public area, LDPi also completed some stores’ lighting design (Camille Fournet, Corthay, SKP Select Watch and Rendez-Vous).
Delvaux Beijing China World Trade Center
Delvaux remains at the forefront of luxury leather goods for its savoir-faire for putting uncompromising craftsmanship and outstanding quality into its products. In the Beijing Delvaux World Trade Center store, every light focuses on the products to reveal colors and textures through lighting fixtures with high color rendering index.
Tianjin Vanke Plaza (Jiulong Road)
Tianjin Vanke Plaza (Jiulong Road) is a city mix-used complex close to the public, LDPi focused on the esthetic experience of urban life, used unconventional lights to decorate the space. As people walk by these stairs, the integrated lighting reveals, with a high color rendering index of 90, the varying colors of the tainted grass. One could imagine being immersed at the center of the "Relativity" lithograph from famous Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher.
Beijing Citic Bookstore (Qihao Mansion)
Beijing Citic Bookstore (Qihao Mansion) is near by the Liangma River, where high-end offices, hotels and embassies are located and that makes it a typical city center area. The lighting design intent was to provide the guests a comfortable interior reading space. The designed lighting control system is capable of automatically adjusting the illuminance based on the natural light coming through the windows during the day for a comfortable reading environment.
