Lamina Lighting Incorporated (Lamina), an innovator of LED lighting systems and technologies, announced that their SoL MR16 LED has been included in the specifications for jewelry cabinetry lighting for Cartier, the renowned French jeweler and watchmaker based in Paris.
Lamina's SoL MR16 LED is currently being installed in new cabinetry under construction for Cartier's latest retail shop in Brussels, Belgium, and will be utilized in all new cabinetry for subsequent stores.
“Cartier chose Lamina's SoL MR16 LED for two reasons,” said Sylvain Chabot, Managing Director for JC Lampes SRL, the French distributor for Lamina LEDs and a subsidiary of Eleanor Group, the Lamina distributor throughout Europe. “The quality of light is exceptional in its ability to show the jewelry at its best, and using the SoL makes maintenance very easy.”
“We are very proud that a respected name such as Cartier will settle for nothing less than Lamina's SoL MR16 LED,” said Frank M. Shinneman, President and CEO of Lamina. “It is truly a testament to the clear superiority and innovation, in a number of aspects, that Lamina's products represent.”
JC Lampes worked in conjunction with Cartier's lighting designer/adviser and Lamina to have the SoL specified for use in the cabinetry. Samples of the LED were first sent to the Cartier designer, who tested the fixture and eventually decided to make the product the standard in all Cartier cabinets. JC Lampes is now working with Cartier's furniture manufacturer to supply the Lamina fixtures for all new cabinets that are ordered.
