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.

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.
