Oberpollinger

The Men’s Designer Department on the first floor was designed by Belgian architect and designer Vincent van Duysen. Pairs of adjustable ceiling recessed spotlights in the shop-in-shops form a calm background for the various brands and put their products in the limelight. The so-called “Classic Area” in the middle zone at the level’s rear area is segmented into individual sales islands, which are separated from the loop by ceiling panels made of brushed metal, corrugated sheet metal flooring, and partition walls with marble or wood cladding. Tracks are integrated into the ceiling panels in such a fashion that from below only minimalist slots are visible as openings for the use of the track spotlights. The spotlighting powerfully accentuates the merchandise as well as the textures and surfaces of the different materials.

In the front part of the floor there is a kind of pavilion, reminiscent of Bauhaus design, which sets itself apart from the loop due to a striking coffered ceiling with integrated diffuse light lines. The general lighting is realized with adjustable ceiling spotlights, which are located in the black ceiling panels between the reddish ceiling bars. Light lines invisibly integrated into the shelves complete the nuanced atmosphere.

Designed by Milan-based architect Andrea Tognon, the interior design for the new Women’s Fashion Department on the second floor is characterized by minimalist modernity and emotional playfulness. The lighting concept on the entire floor makes use of a sophisticated grid of ceiling recessed adjustable downlights optimized for the integration of technical components. The minimalist luminaires for the ambient and accent lighting were implemented in the same shade of grey as the ceiling and thus blend into the design unobtrusively. At key locations in the room, tracks were integrated into gold-colored round tubes, with associated track heads in the same golden hue setting their own accents.

On the basement floor, the architectural studio Gonzalez Haase AAS has created an urban atmosphere. The rough, partly open ceiling design is characteristic. A functional grid of lighting track segments consistently spans across the entire retail space, conveying an industrial look. Here, fixtures for general and accent lighting can be accommodated to create a balanced mix of horizontal and vertical illuminance intensities. Different lighting color temperatures were intentionally chosen to aid in thematically zoning and organize the space.
