LIMAS的这个新空间在2018年达到完工。在1973年以SAMIL的名字开始,主要是一家照明公司,LIMAS现在是一个以设计为重点的照明品牌。利马斯的照明理念被最好地概括为 “空间与不断变化的人类情感和需求之间的和谐”。体现这一理念需要克服一些实际问题,如空间变化和与生产线分离。

This new space for LIMAS reached completion in 2018. After starting off in 1973 under the name SAMIL as primarily a lighting company, LIMAS is now a design-focused lighting brand. LIMAS’s lighting philosophy is best summed up as “harmony between space and ever-changing human emotion and needs.” Embodying this vision called for the overcoming of practical problems such as spatial change and separation from the production line.

LIMAS的旗舰店开始于一个重建空间和新形象的计划。它首先对办公空间、设计开发室、产品存储空间和展示厅进行了全面的重新配置,同时也考虑到了建筑外墙的认知问题。由于现有破旧的建筑外观无法传达LIMAS的品牌形象,因此对一楼的外墙进行了重新设计,以自然地展现出内部空间。

LIMAS’s flagship store began with a plan for reconstituted space and a new image. It started off with a comprehensive reconfiguration of office space, the design development room, product storage space and the showroom, while also taking into consideration cognitive aspects of the building’s façade. Since the existing worn-out exterior of the building was not capable of conveying LIMAS’s brand identity, the first-floor façade was redesigned to naturally reveal the interior space.

我们提出了两面移动的墙和一面固定的半透明的墙,作为在90平方米的小面积内实现不同功能选择的方法。矩形的平面图被分为两层。它包括一个最前面的展示空间,用于向顾客介绍照明产品;一个展览空间,允许他们触摸和体验各种产品;以及一个最里面的存储空间,允许轻松管理产品。这三个不同的空间相互靠近,但又相互独立,可以提供涉及不同产品和客户的高效服务。

We proposed two moving walls and a fixed, semi-transparent wall as ways of enabling different functional choices within the small 90m2 floor area. The rectangular floor plan is divided into two layers. It consists of a foremost display space for introducing lighting products to customers, an exhibition space allowing them to touch and experience various products, and an innermost storage space to allow easy management of products. Having these three different spaces close to each other, yet independent from each other, allowed efficient service involving diverse products and customers.

从建筑外部看到的两面低矮的展示墙,可以根据每个促销活动的特点,结合各种布局。在展厅的展示区,通过打开和关闭铰链墙,可以使用产品信息图片的架子和存储空间。半镜墙的各种有机组合使得33平方米的空间可以灵活配置,用于展览和会议等功能。半镜面容纳了 “LIMAS “和 “SAMIL “的无限反射,象征性地展示了照明公司从过去到现在和未来的连续身份,而无需使用额外的标志。在展览空间里,不同高度的钢制立方体可以被配置为桌子、椅子或展示台。因此,LIMAS旗舰店呈现的不是一个固定的形象,而是一个可变的、实验性的空间,能够不断适应变化,体现新的光芒。

The two low display walls, seen from the outside of the building, can combine various layouts in accordance with the character of each promotion. In the display area of the showroom, shelves and storage spaces for product information images can be used by opening and closing the hinge walls. Various organic combinations of the half-mirror walls allow flexible configuration of the 33m2 space, for functions including exhibitions and meetings. The half-mirrors hold infinite reflections of ‘LIMAS’ and ‘ SAMIL’, symbolically showing the lighting company’s continuous identity from past to present and future, without the use of addition signage. In the exhibition space, steel cubes of varying heights can be configured for use as tables, chairs or display pedestals. The LIMAS flagship store thus presents not a fixed image but a variable and experimental space, capable of continuously adapting to change and embodying new light.
