JOHN LEWIS HEAD OFFICE

When the John Lewis Partnership set out to create their new central London headquarters, they wanted more than just an office. They envisioned an environment that sparks connection, encourages collaboration, and adapts to the way people work. At Edge Lighting, we were proud to help bring that vision to life with carefully considered, people-first lighting design.

Our role was to develop and deliver a lighting strategy that upgraded the store to LED, aligned with sustainability targets, and integrated cleanly with the existing layout, avoiding any costly ceiling works.

Located at 1 Drummond Gate, the 108,000 sq ft space supports a hybrid working model, offering 700 desks, flexible meeting areas, and vibrant communal spaces. From the welcoming Benugo Café to the open-plan floors and Partner dining room, every part of the building was designed around people, and the lighting needed to match.

LIGHTING THAT SHAPES EVERY SPACE

Working closely with the design team, we supplied a selection of luminaires that complement both the architecture and the interiors. Featured products include: 

Vega LED Downlights – delivering consistent lighting across breakout areas and communal spaces, helping to create a welcoming atmosphere.

1200×300 MPanel Luminaires – providing low-glare, comfortable illumination over desks and meeting rooms, supporting focus and clarity throughout the day.

Gimteq Adjustable Spotlights – introducing flexible accent lighting to highlight key features and add subtle depth to different areas.

Every fitting was chosen with purpose, to feel like a natural extension of the space rather than an add-on.

DESIGNED FOR WELLBEING

Right from the start, we focused on creating a lighting environment that supports both wellbeing and sustainability. Smart zoning, and attention to light quality all come together to create a workplace that is clear, comfortable, and conscious of the future. The result is a series of spaces where lighting quietly improves the way occupants move, meet, and collaborate throughout the day.

SEAMLESS COLLABORATION

We worked side by side with the design and fit-out teams to help deliver a smooth, straightforward project. Clear documentation, fast technical support, and a flexible product range made it easier to bring the design to life without unnecessary delays.

RESULTS

  • Comfort and clarity: low-glare lighting creates a calm, focused environment for everyday work.
  • Cohesive design: fittings blend with the architecture, supporting the interiors rather than competing with them.
  • Smooth delivery: clear coordination with the design and fit-out teams kept the project on track from start to finish.
