3.1 Phillip Lim: Global Stores
EMY collaborated with 3.1 Phillip Lim to craft bespoke lighting solutions across three distinct spaces—Miami, Ginza, and New York—each reflecting the brand’s signature elegance and modern minimalism. From retail environments to a dynamic workplace, our designs seamlessly integrate with the architectural vision, enhancing each space with light that is both functional and atmospheric.
Through a refined approach, we tailored our lighting concepts to complement Studio Brandon Sanchez’s architectural designs, reinforcing the brand’s sophisticated identity. Whether it’s the illusion of infinite skylights in Miami, the minimalist materiality in Ginza, or the nostalgic yet modern workplace in New York, each space tells a unique story through light.

Welcome to 3.1 Phillip Lim - workplace of Phillip Lim, situated at 225 Liberty Street in NYC, formerly recognized as Two World Financial Center.
