Hanging the 54" custom pendant

~Part One~

I had noticed the dust and rubble surrounding Cornell’s Jewelers for several months so it came as quite a surprise when the Cornells called me to discuss their project.   They informed me that their store fixture designer had provided them with a lighting plan but  they weren’t convinced it would remedy their current lighting problems or fulfill their future lighting goals.  They also expressed their hesitancy to invest in a 2^nd lighting plan, but were aware of the importance of  good lighting  and that it was a critical component in the success of a jewelry store.   We scheduled a time to meet after they returned from their vacation.  I used these next few weeks to research all the latest trends in retail lighting so that I would be fully prepared for this meeting;  as they say “nothing ventured, nothing gained”.

**Since this post was written, Cornell’s Jewelers one second place in the 2010 Store of the Year Award, by InStore Magazine.  You can see photos of the finished store in the Photo Gallery at www.robinmuto.com
