VANCOUVER, CANADA, March 30, 2015 – Judges from design:retail magazine and the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) selected Cooledge for it’s top honor,
Best in Show – Platinum at this year’s GlobalShop conference.
Reading about it is never going to give you the brilliant impact that this flexible illuminated sheet offers,” said Brian G. Thornton, a designer and GlobalShop IIDA judge at the conference. “In the 30 plus years I’ve been in design for retail, hospitality, and residential projects, I am confident that the Cooledge SQUARE product resolves many lighting design problems we face.”
“Recognition from the designers that are leading this important market segment for Cooledge is very much appreciated” said David Kriebel of Cooledge. “Our products’ design and function are driven directly by the ongoing conversations we have with retail, hospitality and lighting designers.”
“The Best of GlobalShop truly represents the best of the best of the best. Every year, we see the bar raised higher and higher, and this year was no exception,” said Doug Hope, founder and show director, GlobalShop. “ The retail design industry is all about innovation and customization, and Cooledge’s SQUARE LED lighting, is exemplary in both.”
Cooledge’s innovative lighting products are redefining what is required to form a luminaire and freeing architects and lighting designers from bulb and tube form factors. Installations at the New Coach store on Central Park West and the TOPSHOP flagship store on 5th Avenue in New York City represent how the new form factors can be used to create beautifully lit effects.
