Elegante Mall
A modern retail quarter that takes the old city's markets — their density, their energy, their constant movement — and reworks them at the scale of a contemporary destination. LDP treats the internal atrium as a street. The lighting lets the storefronts speak to one another and connects them visually, so the eye travels the way it would through a bazaar — drawn from one frontage to the next. Digital surfaces mark the key viewpoint nodes, and the food court is lit as a focal element, the point the whole street resolves toward. The result is the feeling of the market made modern: layered, animated, alive after dark.
The Exchange TRX
The Exchange TRX is the newest of Kuala Lumpur's luxury retail precincts, and LDP was engaged across both its interiors and its façades. The work of the central atrium was a work of concert rather than of luminaires: daylight does the leading, decorative features carry their own light, and supplementary lighting fills only where the other two leave off — three sources reading as one continuous, even light, none of them announcing itself. At the entries, the task turned from ambience to identity. Each features a special installation or artwork, and these were lit not to flood but to single out — so that the thing a visitor remembers about arriving is the piece itself, given its own presence in the dark.
Vegas Mall
Good lighting usually knows when to disappear. Vegas Mall in New Delhi is the brief that asks for the opposite — and the discipline lies in recognising it. A retail experience riffing on the extravagance of its namesake, it wanted light not as a quiet servant but as the main event: colour used liberally, freely, without apology, to hold the whole place in a mood of permanent festivity. So that is what it got. The lighting here is meant to be seen, meant to be felt the moment you arrive — a perennial sense of celebration that never quite settles into ordinary daylight, never lets the energy drop. The skill was not in holding back but in conducting the excess: keeping colour joyful rather than chaotic, festive rather than fatiguing, so the party reads as designed and never simply loud.
Alldressedup
A tiny store with a footprint far larger than its floor — the kind of presence that has to be built from an idea rather than square metres. Fitch was creating the brand, and brought LDP onto the team for the light. The idea we brought was a sky: sunlight streaming in through clouds, held inside the store. The cloud itself is made of fine fibre-optic threads, and the light is directed from within them — so the effect isn't lit upon but glows from inside, the way real cloud carries the sun rather than reflecting it. The result gives a small space something no small space should be able to hold: weather, daylight, a sense of sky overhead — and with it, a presence that reads far bigger than the room.
