Pasadena is a city with a storied architectural history rooted in traditional Mission and classic American Craftsman designs. Many of the local homes and businesses still reflect these styles today. When redesigning our Lamps Plus Pasadena store location, we wished to embrace this heritage and meet Pasadena where it lives; serving customers who care about getting their style right.
Inspired by the nearby San Gabriel Mission, Mission Revival style architecture features a love of adobe walls, clay tile roofs, and thick arches creating that iconic Spanish California style. Meanwhile, American Craftsman style is inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement and displays simpler designs meant to sit side-by-side with nature with real stone and wood materials.
But Pasadena is made of more than just two architectural styles, and some neighborhoods are even designated as historic or landmark districts. In nearby San Marino and Arcadia, European inspired beaux-arts manses are on full display, while some older areas boast American Colonial Revival designs. Even Victorian homes are represented in the Markham Place Historic District and around the Heritage Square Museum.
“The goal was simple,” said Lamps Plus’s Senior Manager of Store Design, Poplar Schoerner Smith about the redesign. “To reintroduce Lamps Plus to a new generation of customers while giving our longtime shoppers a fresh perspective.” The role of a Lamps Plus store is to carry products that fit the needs and styles of the community around it. In the case of Pasadena, we thoughtfully edited our assortment to match the Mission Revival and American Craftsman architecture of the surrounding area. To complement these styles, we added a display of Tiffany-style pieces with art glass shades, ready to pair seamlessly with the Pasadena aesthetic.
Lamps Plus is a place where customers go to find their light, and so our refreshed Pasadena store needed to feel bright, warm, and inviting. More than just a place to shop, we wanted to create “a space that’s not only beautiful and inspiring but also accessible and more enjoyable”, according to Schoerner Smith. To achieve that mission, Lamps Plus introduced lifestyle vignettes to the store, showcasing thoughtfully designed living, dining, and bathroom spaces to help our customers imagine how lighting can be used to transform their homes.
