Dutch supermarket chain Dekamarkt gets a custom lighting retrofit, with recyclable 3D-printed luminaires
Concept stores are all about discovery and experience. A dynamic concept store requires a beautiful lighting design, highly customizable, connected, and scalable. With sustainability as one of their core values, Dekamarkt, a Dutch supermarket chain, choose a lighting solution that would improve their carbon footprint.
One of their 81 supermarket locations was retrofitted with 350 3D-printed luminaires, custom designed to fit the existing lighting installation. The 3D-printed luminaries are built with sustainability in mind. The base material is a polycarbonate that is strong, high-quality and 100% recyclable.

The system’s ease of use and versatility, coupled with a strong sustainability profile and cost-effectiveness, made the project a success. Because of this, Dekamarkt plans on implementing this concept in an additional 30 stores. “Our new store concept uses set-up and colors to create a unique shopping story per section, with sustainable materials at their core. We wanted connected lighting in beautiful and highly customizable luminaires to suit this concept. Signify 3D printing technology provides high-quality connected lighting in tailor-made luminaires from recyclable materials. Moreover, Signify’s designers made a significant contribution to bringing our unique light concept to life.” Ton Beentjes, Project Manager, Detailresult Services
