Le Creuset · Barcelona

Le Creuset, with more than 80 years experience in the design, manufacture and distribution of kitchenware, has recently opened a new store in the city center of Barcelona, Spain.

The 140 m2 exposition is located at Calle Consell de Cent 357. The showroom offers the visitors an experience thought out a full range of products and offering a show cooking and more delights for gastronomy lovers.

While reaching efficiency in maintenance and energy consumption, this new space has mainly been equipped with LED lighting supplied by Grupo MCI to create a special, modern unique atmosphere.

For illuminating the windows with a dynamic and color changing effects, four Line Grazer® were used. Line Grazer® is a powerful and highly efficient linear wall washer made of robust aluminium housing and a UV resistant polycarbonate cover. Also, to illuminate the displayed elements from the windows, the Euro Spot projector with three phase standard white rail was installed.

In the center of the store, three impressive ring shaped circles simulate the bottom of the cooking pots. In order to enhance this idea the SmartLedFlex® Round has been recessed. SmartLedFlex® is a flexible linear lighting product for both indoor and outdoor (IP66) applications. It is perfect for decorative lighting that provides a high performance homogenous light without visible dots.

Shelves around the store have been light by the Linear Flex strip. The new ranges of Linear Flex are the flexible linear LED solutions, for applications with curving linear surfaces or limited space.
