A retail giant and its local franchise partner are forging new paths together: in February 2016 the supermarket "Carrefour Gourmet" opened in Latina in central Italy. Its innovative "gourmet" concept is not only distinguished by the particularly wide range of groceries with regional specialities; it also attracts attention with regular events featuring star chefs.

Light develops its whole salespromoting potential with the LED special light colours and spectrums that optimise inherent product colours.

The retail designers from the Turin F&F design studio achieved the modern and yet warm atmosphere wanted by the operators with a holistic lighting concept using different lighting tools from BÄRO with carefully coordinated light colours and light distribution patterns.

With its neutral design and dark colours the architecture takes a back seat and provides a stage for the products that are often presented in traditional baskets or on wooden furniture. The store is one of the first in its region to open 24 hours a day – making a harmonious lighting atmosphere all the more important.
