Business Challenge
Does it fit? How will it look?
Whether it’s for commercial or residential projects, the lighting of a space is so important to its overall enjoyment and success. Visualising each design and the light and shadows they create is something David Trubridge strives to do for each customer project, but this is also one of the company’s biggest challenges.
Lighting is an experience. Not only do different users have different needs and expectations of this experience, but traditional product photography cannot fully convey how a light will look in a specific space. Beautiful imagery is just that, but it is static in nature and only shows a particular material or feature from a certain angle.
David Trubridge’s lighting designs are also large, and photography cannot demonstrate how it will look to scale in a buyer’s environment. What’s more, these images aren’t reusable when products are adapted or new designs are introduced.
As a high-end, creative brand, it is vital that David Trubridge’s customer experience reflects this. The business needed a solution that enhanced the customer experience for all users – commercial, residential and resellers – providing a better way for these clients to see a light’s features in detail, explore customisation options and bring it to life in their desired space.
“ By digitising our product range we’ve been able
to showcase our lights in a whole new way. ”
