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. This distinguished space is one of the four towers within the Brookfield Place complex, nestled in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan. Boasting a simple and minimalistic lighting approach, the workplace is a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetics, housing workrooms, photography studios, sewing ateliers, libraries, and private/public offices.
Our lighting design draws inspiration from the sophistication of 1950s office spaces, particularly influenced by the iconic sets of the Mad Men TV show. The result is a captivating blend of nostalgia and contemporary flair, creating an ambiance that resonates with the dynamic spirit of Phillip Lim's innovative workspaces.
