Lucent Lighting enhances Goldwin’s London flagship with discreet architectural illumination
Posted by: electime 30th March 2026
Lucent Lighting have supplied architectural lighting solutions to the Goldwin London flagship store on Broadwick Street in Soho, helping to shape a refined retail environment where architecture and light combine to create an immersive customer experience.
Located in the heart of one of London’s most vibrant creative districts, the store blends contemporary retail design with subtle references to Japanese tradition. The lighting design, developed by There’s Light in collaboration with Lucent Lighting, complements this setting through carefully layered illumination that enhances the environment while maintaining a minimal and considered aesthetic.
Lucent Lighting contributed with a combination of flexible track-mounted luminaires and discreet recessed fittings to achieve this balance.
The TubeLED Mini Quantum High Output for Mains Voltage Track was specified to deliver high-performance accent lighting throughout the retail space. Installed on Mains Voltage Track, the compact luminaires provide the flexibility needed for a modern retail environment, allowing lighting positions to be easily adjusted as displays and collections evolve.
To create a seamless architectural finish, Oculus Trimless luminaires with LED50 One Quantum High Output modules were installed across the ceiling. Designed to integrate discreetly into the architecture, the trimless fittings sit flush within the ceiling plane, maintaining a clean visual line that supports the minimalist interior design.
Lucent’s Trimless Install Kits were used for both solid ceilings and full skim plasterboard ceilings, ensuring precise integration during installation. These kits allow the luminaire housing to be recessed into the ceiling structure before plastering, resulting in a perfectly flush finish once completed. By eliminating visible trims and shadow gaps, the system preserves the purity of the ceiling plane while delivering a high-quality architectural appearance.
In addition to their aesthetic benefits, the installation kits simplify the install process by providing accurate alignment and a secure fixing point for the luminaire. This reduces installation time for contractors and helps prevent issues such as plaster cracking around fittings, ensuring a durable and long-lasting finish.
Together, the lighting scheme provides a layered balance of accent and ambient illumination that highlights product displays while enhancing the natural textures and materials within the space.
John Carey, Specification Sales at Lucent Lighting, said: “A stunning end result. It was a real pleasure to collaborate with There’s Light and play our part in bringing an inspiring architectural vision to reality. Our flexible track lighting and trimless luminaires combine flexibility with seamless integration, becoming part of a lighting design that elevates the space. This is cutting-edge design, an immersive experience that tells a brand story of history and meticulous craftsmanship, whilst keeping the products centre stage.”
Through the integration of flexible track lighting and discreet trimless luminaires, Lucent’s solutions support a lighting design that enhances the architecture while delivering the performance and adaptability required for a contemporary retail space.
Fabio A P Cristini of There’s Light added, “For Goldwin’s London flagship, the lighting design was driven by a desire for calmness, clarity and restraint. We carefully balanced accent and ambient light to enhance the materiality of the space and guide the customer journey, while ensuring the scheme remained visually unobtrusive. Close collaboration with Lucent Lighting allowed us to achieve a highly flexible yet discreet solution that supports both the architectural vision and the evolving retail environment.”
