L&S Group – Lighting, Structure, and Technology in Retail Space Design

03/04/26

How does a retail space become an experiential environment?

For EuroShop 2026, the L&S Group translated its “Flow” showroom concept into the trade fair context. The installation was developed to present an integrated spatial concept where light, structure, and technology interact as part of a single system.

The joint stand of L&S, Visplay, and Flux combined architectural structures and lighting systems to create a unified spatial installation.

Light and space in dialogue

“Light & Space” served as the conceptual foundation of the stand design. Lighting was presented not as an additional layer but as a component used to define spatial structure. Architectural lighting, ceiling lighting, light panels, and integrated LED solutions organized the space, highlighted products, and created different atmospheric zones.

“The unique combination of lighting, structural systems, drivers and intelligent control systems that we unite within the L&S Group provides a strong basis for discussion and represents a clear USP,” says Christian Vetterer, CEO of Visplay.

Modular systems as the connecting framework

Modular and electrified presentation systems were used as structural elements within the installation, allowing different spatial configurations within a defined architectural framework.

Wall systems such as Xero 4 EVO and Beam EVO were used to present products on glass and curved surfaces while maintaining a consistent architectural structure. Spatio, a freestanding structural system, formed part of the installation infrastructure by integrating lighting, merchandise supports, and digital elements.

The stand was organized into several functional zones, including retail display areas, workstations, a hospitality space, and a technical hub.

The concept focused on the interaction between different system components:

Architectural and linear lighting solutions
Modular shelving and structural systems
Electrified presentation surfaces
Integrated control and sensor technology

These elements were presented as part of an interconnected system intended for interior retail environments.

Reusable exhibition concept

The exhibition concept was also designed with reusability in mind. The systems used in the stand are part of the company’s existing showroom infrastructure and will continue to be used after the event. The trade fair installation therefore functioned as an adaptation of an existing architectural setup rather than a temporary structure.
