Case Study

Pickering transforms their corporate space with custom Pop Art cube lights

The Challenge

Pickering was creating a contemporary corporate space and needed something more engaging than standard furniture. They were looking for fun, distinctive pieces that would energize their environment while keeping their professional brand front and center. However, traditional seating options were not going to cut it. They needed something that would actually make people stop and take notice.

Why Lightboxes?

Illuminated cube stools gave Pickering exactly what they were after. They needed functional seating that doubled as eye-catching design elements. The custom Pop Art graphics brought personality and energy to the space, while their branding kept everything looking professional. Since these light boxes have a rechargeable built-in battery, they don't need to worry about power outlets or tangled cords cluttering up the design.

  • Load-bearing seating - the boxes are strong enough to sit on while creating a bold visual statement
  • Custom edge-to-edge printing - we can print any design in full color, edge-to-edge
  • Rechargeable built-in battery with 8-hour runtime - you get complete freedom in placement without searching for power outlets
  • Featuring 16 color options - You can adjust the atmosphere throughout the day using the included remote control
  • Shatterproof construction - Built to handle daily use in high-traffic corporate environments

From Concept to Reality

The Pickering team submitted their Pop Art theme concept and logo early in the process. Our team then created several mockup designs showing different Pop Art graphics. These included playful options with retro comic book styling and bold geometric patterns. They could see exactly how each light box would look before committing.

After reviewing the mockups internally, Pickering chose three distinct Pop Art designs. Each box featured vibrant graphics on four sides with the company logo on the left panel. The approval process moved through their internal reviews. Once everything was signed off, we moved quickly with production.

The Impact

These illuminated cubes transformed functional seating into conversation pieces. Instead of generic office furniture, visitors now see bold, distinctive design elements that reflect the company's innovative spirit. The Pop Art theme adds energy and personality to the space, while the integrated branding reinforces the corporate identity.

The rechargeable built-in battery proved particularly valuable. Pickering could position the cubes wherever they worked best visually, without being limited by outlet locations. When the cubes are switched on, they create ambient lighting that enhances the room's atmosphere.

FAQ

What types of corporate spaces work best with custom illuminated light boxes?

These work really well in spaces where you want to make an impression on visitors or energize your team. Reception areas, breakout zones, collaborative workspaces, and innovation hubs are all popular choices.

Is the investment worthwhile for a single office location?

It depends on what you are trying to achieve with the space. If you are creating an environment that needs to impress clients, attract talent, or reflect an innovative company culture, then distinctive design elements like these tend to pay off quickly. Even a small number of pieces can transform how a space feels. We have worked with companies that started with just a handful for their main reception area and then expanded to other spaces because of the positive response from visitors and staff.

How quickly can we get these if we have a tight deadline?

If you need them urgently, express production and delivery can get them to you within 2-3 working days from approval. This covers both production and shipping, so it works well for office launches or renovation deadlines that are coming up fast. The standard timeline is 7 working days for production, then another 2-3 working days for delivery. Either way, you will see detailed mockups before production starts, so there are no surprises when they arrive.

What should I consider when choosing the design and branding?

Think about the balance between visual impact and brand presence. Many clients opt for bold graphics or themes on multiple sides with their logo integrated more subtly on one or two sides. This keeps the pieces eye-catching without feeling like oversized branded merchandise. You will also want to consider whether you want consistency across all pieces or variety with different designs. Variety tends to create more visual interest, especially in larger spaces where multiple light boxes will be visible at once.

What's involved in setting these up once they arrive?

Setup is straightforward because there is no assembly or electrical work required. They arrive charged and ready to use straight out of the box. You simply position them where you want them, switch them on, and adjust the color using the remote control. The rechargeable built-in battery means you can place them anywhere without worrying about access to power outlets. Charging is simple too, just use the included plug-in charger when needed, similar to charging any other device.
