Initial meetings with Tekzone and Grapes Design showed plans for a lighting matrix inspired by the sci-fi film, Tron. To meet these aesthetic objectives and provide optimum light levels at floor level, Unibox manufactured, assembled and installed 300m of aluminium profiles with integrated RGBW LEDs. These were assembled in a custom configuration to create an installation that is entirely unique. Understanding the nature of Tekzone’s business, Unibox advised using DMX as opposed to wireless technologies to control the store’s lights. By operating using a complex network of shielded cables, DMX enables upscale lighting systems to function without being interrupted by wireless signals in the vicinity. Unibox manufactured each raft to be ‘plug-and-play’ so that our client could carry out routine maintenance on individual sections without having to dismantle the entire lighting system. Moreover, by being manufactured using lengths of extruded aluminium, the system is easily recyclable when no longer required. To accommodate the tight deadlines of our partners, Unibox also sent a team of technicians to install each section of the lighting system on-site. This phase of the project was completed within just two weeks and ensured that the store was able to open its doors as planned. This project showcases a wide range of Unibox’s skills and capabilities – LED lighting, aluminium extrusion, lightboxes, display cases, Neonist signage, Kontakt illuminated shelving, RGBW components, bespoke designs, plug-and-play technologies and more – all of which came together to create a visually striking, one-of-a-kind store concept.
