The plan was to provide a boutique -

style approach for time -star ved
travel shoppers as well as a global
experience. Value offers and
ambience had to be assimilated
with futuristic technology by paying
great attention to detail while
designing the proposed renovation.
While the style of the duty-free
shopping area was to be subtle with
an air y touch of class, it also had to
provide a timeless experience with
many quirky Indian and international
elements.

3Fold Design, a young and dynamic

A conscious effor t is made to

enhance the shopping experience
by inter weaving various diverse
references from the city and
region, and reinterpret them in
a modern retail environment.
Iconic architectural and cultural
elements from all over South India
are introduced to strike a cord with
shoppers thereby setting the overall
“creation of meaning” theme.

The challenge for lighting designed

by Lighting Research & Design, was
to create a perceivable juxtaposition
between these traditional elements
and modern luxur y brands. The main
store itself is designed as a clean
and user-friendly environment for
easy circulation and open frontage
with clearly established visual lines
of the merchandise and brands to
maximise revenue. Digital screens
flank the store entrances to welcome
the shoppers.

The concept of the Kolam (patterns

drawn on the ground with white rice
flour or chalk) has been reinterpreted
in the form of floral patterns in the
core duty free store ceiling. Soft
general illumination is provided
using 4000K LED square downlights
neatly integrated within the floral
patterns. Additionally, golden bell-
motifs inspired by Jhumk as (earrings)
and ancient temple complexes dot
the core duty free ceiling. Accented
illumination for these motifs is
provided using 3000K LED strips
integrated within coves. The warm
light bouncing from these motifs
creates warm islands of light over
the specially located merchandise.
Track-mounted 4000K LED spotlights
illuminate the merchandise on the
store back walls.

A specialty store is introduced in the

main duty free store as a “Store in
store” concept to house luxury lifestyle
brands. Pillars from the magnificent
palace architecture of Chettinad in
deep wooden finish provide a high-
end look and feel that differentiates
itself from the core duty free store.
While similar LED square downlights
provide general illumination, a
warmer colour temperature of 3000K
to match the deep wood finish
further enhances this high-end feel.
Backlit signage, cabinet and display
unit lighting are blended in unison
with the commercial considerations
to create a wow factor whilst allowing
the merchandise to remain the main
focus of attention. ■
