Objective

The objective of Chapter was to create an enchanting and visually captivating experience for visitors. The primary objective was to find a lighting solution that could effortlessly adjust colors, control LED brightness, and deliver fascinating lighting animations.

Challenges

In a city renowned for its multitude of coffee shops, one of the challenges faced by Chapter was to create a distinct identity by implementing effective lighting solutions, enchanting a larger audience. As the establishment served multiple functions, including a makeup studio and art gallery, maintaining a harmonious ambiance proved challenging. This involved adjusting the lighting levels and color schemes to suit the unique requirements of each area. Additionally, controlling the lights to enhance the delicate beauty of artistic displays while ensuring a visually pleasing environment added another layer of complexity to the project.
