Key Design Elements

1. Innovative Ceiling Structures

The ceilings in Galeries Lafayette are crafted to create a sense of grandeur and spaciousness. Our GRG ceiling installations span across the store, incorporating flowing, wave-like patterns that evoke a sense of movement and modernity. These continuous designs were achieved through careful planning and precise molding, ensuring that every element aligned seamlessly. The interplay of lighting and design created a visually striking effect, enhancing the shopping experience with an inviting and luxurious atmosphere.

2. Elegant Columns

The GRG columns in Galeries Lafayette serve as both functional and decorative elements. Strategically placed throughout the store, these columns add structural integrity while contributing to the space's elegant aesthetic. The smooth, rounded finishes of the GRG columns were crafted to blend harmoniously with the ceiling patterns, creating a cohesive design language. The columns’ positioning guides visitors naturally through the store, adding to the flow and rhythm of the shopping environment.

Production and Installation Process

Creating and installing GRG elements at this scale demanded rigorous planning and craftsmanship. During the production phase, our team used custom molds to achieve the precise shapes and details specified in the design. Each ceiling panel and column segment was manufactured with attention to detail, ensuring that the final pieces would fit seamlessly on-site.

The installation phase presented challenges due to the large scale of the ceiling structures and the precise alignment required for the columns. Our installation team worked closely with Alec to manage logistics and ensure the smooth assembly of GRG elements on-site. Careful coordination was maintained to minimize disruptions while ensuring that the integrity of the design was preserved.

Challenges and Solutions

One of the primary challenges in the Galeries Lafayette project was achieving flawless, continuous finishes across extensive ceiling sections. To address this, our team employed advanced techniques in mold creation and installation, ensuring each panel aligned seamlessly with adjacent sections. The unique design of the ceiling required careful planning to ensure smooth transitions in the flowing, wave-like patterns.

The installation of the GRG columns was equally challenging, as they needed to align precisely with the ceiling patterns to maintain the overall symmetry and aesthetic. By utilizing precision engineering and maintaining open communication with the client, we successfully addressed these challenges and met the high standards required by Galeries Lafayette.
