Technology, efficiency, and lighting design by Imoon and Makris come together to create a tailor-made lighting project for the new Coop supermarket in Busto Arsizio on Viale Duca D’Aosta (Varese). The new opening stems from the redevelopment of a former industrial area of the Borri footwear factory, becoming one of the chain’s most innovative and ‘green’ stores.

Tradition meets innovation: the historic nature of the site and the cutting-edge lighting technologies that respond to the needs of the spaces are at the heart of this project. All this is achieved without compromising aesthetics: a modern and striking design blends harmoniously into the environment of the new supermarket. The result is a unique format where light takes center stage, combining sustainability with a human-oriented vision
Imoon meets the design requirements for functionality and efficiency, illuminating the spaces through various suspension solutions. Maxi, a high-tech design fixture, lights up the aisles, walkways, checkout area, and household department, creating soft, diffused, and even lighting. Venere Pro P, on the other hand, with its sharp accent light, highlights selected areas such as aisle endcaps and the wine section, providing the perfect illumination. Each sales area is also assigned a color temperature suitable for the products on display.

The design and custom project aspect is supported by Makris products: the brand’s fixtures are unique in their kind and captivate aesthetes, integrating harmoniously into an elegant and original environment. Lady, the star that cannot go unnoticed, illuminates the household section, adding a chic touch with its total black, feminine allure. Granitika, minimalist in style and finished in smooth concrete, enhances the listening area, while Mexico, with curved, sinuous ceramic forms, takes center stage in the wine section. Created specifically for this project, Gabbianella is fully customized and named for its cage-like shape in rust-colored painted metal, it lights the bar counter and surrounding area, becoming a true design object with a nod to current trends.

Another distinctive element by Makris is the illuminated letters, Font Light, which label all areas and departments of the supermarket, facilitating the flow of customers and staff between spaces.
In the parking area, Energy 65 Sensum Smart makes the difference: in the underground section, these super-smart fixtures integrate perfectly into the project thanks to their presence sensors, which contribute significantly to energy savings. The IP67 LED bars, particularly suitable for outdoor use, complete the lighting of the outdoor area, where a wrought iron structure recalls the Liberty style typical of the city.

Coop’s green philosophy is supported by a DALI lighting system that helps manage the lighting of the spaces. Daylight control sensors allow calibration and maintenance of the correct illumination throughout the day, creating perfect lighting at all times while generating energy savings.

The project objectives were thus achieved through the synergy between Imoon and Makris, once again proving to be the perfect partners for installations where cutting-edge technology, efficiency, and sustainability are at the center.
