Overview
With a brand that is admired and respected for grace and sophistication, Chanel has once again dominated the world’s attention by establishing a store in a place recognized as one of the most luxurious shopping districts in the world: the Ginza district in Tokyo, Japan.
Known as the Chanel Tower, it is the first true architectural integration of LED technology into a curtain wall environment. It was one of the first innovative utilization of media facades as a branding method. The architect’s vision required the LED system to be structurally integrated into the building for maximum aesthetic effect. Lighting Science collaborated closely with the architects at Peter Marino Architect throughout the engineering and project design process to ensure the design intent was met.
