The lighting for the 2000 sq. ft. Vera Wang boutique in Manhattan is based on the changing qualities of a white box theater.

The elegant lighting scheme overcomes a 23′-0″ to 8′-6″ ceiling height shift, contrasting a dynamic, loft-like experience in the front salon area with a light infused, layered experience in the windowless, rear salon.

The lighting successfully creates a unique shopping experience in the front while encouraging shoppers to descend the elegant mid-stage stairs and linger in the rear back stage area.

Up against a fast track schedule and challenging site conditions, Suzan Tillotson and her team finished the project in one year—in time to meet the Grand Opening deadline.

“The success of this project was truly due to collaboration between the architect, lighting designer, lighting fixture and controls manufacturers, their representatives and the contractors.

Everyone went over and above what was expected of them to get this complex project completed on time,”  said Tillotson.
