Design & Concept
Together, we’ll transform your great ideas into tangible plans. Our Design Center consultants work hard to make sure every detail is working in harmony to achieve your goals — whether it’s a new store or a department redesign. Because we sweat the details, your project will happen on time, within budget and exactly as you envisioned it.

Inside the Design Center, you’ll find compelling before-and-after lighting displays that reveal the critical role of lighting in successful retail display design. Learn which types of lighting will showcase your products best. And find out how new lighting technologies can put a significant dent in your energy expenditure.
