Question

In Helmond, we realized the store lighting according to Rousseau’s recognizable formula. Craft and experience are paramount, so we chose a lighting scheme that presents chocolate tastefully while respecting product quality. We work with the principle of gently lighting chocolate so that gloss, texture and color come to life without unnecessary heat exposure.

Challenge

The technical basis consists of reliable Stucchi track rail. In this rail we placed our own spotlights, matched per zone according to function and distance. With different degree beams and lumen outputs, we set accents on chocolates and bars, ensure even light on the shelves and keep the walking light quiet and comfortable. This creates a clear routing with a natural focus on the assortment.

Result
Around the cash register and counter, we chose four industrial pendant lights. These give the counter a clear anchor point in the store and emphasize the artisanal character of Rousseau Chocolade Helmond. Together with the track spots, this forms a balanced lighting plan that makes the store inviting, lets the team work comfortably and shows the chocolate at its best.
