Custom Retail Lighting for
Stores, Showrooms & Retail Brands

Karice manufactures commercial retail lighting for stores, showrooms, and branded interiors where design identity, lighting quality, and technical execution matter. We work with architects, designers, and retail project teams to develop and fabricate fixtures specific to your concepts, specifications, and architectural requirements.

What Matters in Retail Lighting Design & Manufacturing

There’s no single approach to lighting for a retail store. A fashion boutique, for example, will have different lighting needs than a furniture showroom. It all comes down to the layout, the products on display, and how the brand wants the space to look and feel.

For us, that means working closely with your project team to make sure the intended design can be manufactured, installed, and maintained without compromising what makes it unique.

We account for:

  • Brand and design consistency: carrying the intended forms, proportions, materials, and finishes through fabrication
  • Light quality and presentation: accounting for colour rendering, distribution, diffusion, and glare where they affect fixture development
  • Architectural integration: coordinating fixture dimensions, suspension, mounting, and surrounding millwork
  • Materials and construction: selecting suitable fabrication methods and components for the intended design
  • Commercial requirements: addressing electrical components, certification, installation, and serviceability
  • Manufacturing repeatability: maintaining consistent construction and finish quality when multiple fixtures are required

These considerations become particularly important when standard retail lighting fixtures cannot accommodate the intended design.

Applications Within Retail Environments & Branded Spaces

Retail lighting requirements vary across the interior. We manufacture lighting around those differences rather than adapting every project to a predefined fixture range.

Storefronts, Entrances & Window Displays

Storefronts and entrances give customers their first impression of a brand. We develop retail store lighting that can draw attention to the store, highlight window displays, or create an eye-catching feature that’s visible from outside.

Sales Floors & Feature Areas

Decorative lighting can give a sales floor more character without taking attention away from the merchandise. We manufacture everything from individual statement fixtures to larger installations, and tailor placement and proportions to the store’s layout.

Sales Floors & Feature Areas

Product Displays & Showrooms

Showroom lighting should complement the products, materials, and finishes on display. We manufacture custom fixtures that work with the showroom’s layout and design, from individual feature pieces to coordinated installations.

Checkout & Service Counters

Lighting above retail counters should work with the shape and size of the space below. We create custom suspended and linear fixtures that follow the counter’s design, whether straight, curved, or something more unconventional.

Retail Brand Offices & Commercial Interiors

Beyond storefront lighting, retail brands also need custom fixtures for offices, reception areas, and other commercial spaces. We manufacture decorative and architectural lighting that reflects the brand’s identity while fitting the design and scale of each interior.

Feature Walls & Branded Lighting Installations

Custom lighting can turn feature walls into focal points within a retail space. We manufacture illuminated compositions, sculptural light fixtures, and other decorative lighting features that complement the architecture and reflect the brand’s identity.

Decorative & Architectural Retail Lighting Fixtures

Retail lighting solutions take different forms depending on the concept and the scale: chandeliers, pendants, suspended and linear fixtures, geometric installations, and feature-wall compositions. We build to the project, not to a standard size or configuration.

How We Support Your Retail Lighting Project

Commercial retail lighting projects rarely arrive fully resolved, especially when the specified fixture isn’t a standard product. We join at the stage you’re at and work through the design with your team before production starts.

Spaces We Illuminate

Every environment has different demands. So, we build custom lighting around the specific needs of each project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Karice manufacture retail lighting from an architectโ€™s or designerโ€™s concept?

Yes. We build from concepts, sketches, drawings, and specifications. Early concepts and fully developed specs are both workable starting points. Our team works through materials, construction, lighting components, and technical details until the design can be built.

Does Karice manufacture fully bespoke retail lighting or adapt existing designs?

Both. We build fully custom fixtures from original concepts. We can also adapt our signature Karice designs in their dimensions, configuration, materials, finishes, and lighting components, where the design allows. We donโ€™t modify fixtures supplied by clients or other manufacturers.

Can Karice produce matching fixtures for multiple retail locations?

Yes. We support repeatable custom lighting production for retail brands with multiple locations. We set construction, materials, finishes, and technical requirements up front to keep fixtures consistent. Location-specific changes are evaluated as they come up.

How does Karice handle certification for retail lighting in Canada and the U.S.?

We evaluate certification requirements during fixture development, not after. We design with CSA and UL in mind, and the listing can also be ETL, QAI, or TรœV, depending on project location and specifications. We confirm the requirements for each project.

What information does Karice need to start a retail lighting project?

A concept is enough to get started. Share a sketch, reference images, architectural drawings, or developed fixture specifications. Dimensions, quantities, materials, installation conditions, and project location help us scope the work and the technical requirements.

What types of retail lighting does Karice manufacture?

We manufacture custom chandeliers, pendants, linear lighting, sculptural fixtures, and integrated lighting installations, among many others. Our work covers both decorative and architectural lighting, with each fixture built around the project's requirements. The fixture type follows the design, not a catalogue.

Can Karice build custom lighting for small boutique stores?

Yes. We manufacture custom lighting for boutiques and smaller retail interiors, from individual feature fixtures to integrated lighting installations. We account for the store's proportions, ceiling conditions, mounting requirements, and clearances to make the design work within the available space.

How does Karice account for colour rendering and light distribution in custom retail fixtures?

We account for both from the start of fixture development. Colour rendering, contrast, and distribution affect how merchandise reads on the floor, so they inform the lighting components and diffusion we build in. We coordinate those choices with the projectโ€™s lighting design intent.
