Rimani, a company specializing in the design and implementation of innovative lighting solutions based in Turin, is responsible for the lighting design of the Nishane Boutique, the artistic perfumery brand of the renowned luxury perfume reference Calé, which has opened its first standalone boutique in Rome.
Located in the heart of the Capital, the boutique represents a new space dedicated to the art of perfume: an intimate and elegant environment that invites visitors to embark on an authentic olfactory journey, discovering artistic fragrances capable of telling stories, cultures and emotions.

Concept and objectives
Rimani collaborated in creating an even more immersive space, where light is not just a technical element but an integral part of the experience. The goal was to enhance the fragrances by creating an atmosphere consistent with the brand’s identity and the client’s expectations.

The lighting design concept, developed based on the project by Architect Stefano Milani, stems from the need to incorporate discreet, high-performance, and top-quality fixtures capable of highlighting the displayed products while maintaining a perfect balance between visual comfort and architectural integration.
Rimani products used
Rimani proposed two product solutions: the Solar 60 Compact semi-recessed ceiling fixture, and the Bi-Magnet Micro23, whose wall-mounted version was adapted for the boutique’s display window.

Installed on the ceiling, the Solar60 Compact semi-recessed fixture incorporates the features of the Solar collection: a single LED source projector that provides natural light covering the entire visible spectrum. This best-in-class element is characterized by accurate color rendering with exceptional whiteness vividness, high intensity, and outstanding beam uniformity and effectiveness. Its 3000K color temperature meets the need for warm light, and the primary optics feature a central “macula” that conceals the light source from direct view and limits glare. Solar is particularly suitable for retail environments, thanks to its precise directional lighting that enhances a wide range of products through accurate and complete color rendering.
Bi-Magnet Micro, the smallest magnetic system in Rimani’s Bi-Magnet series, was specifically designed for the interior of display cases and showcases. Its Micro track features a magnetic conductive rail distributed on both sides to minimize the section size. The magnetic attachment allows for easy and quick installation on the track without the use of tools. In the boutique, the version with the adjustable Micro23 optics was installed, featuring a manually adjustable focal length: this system makes it ideal for applications where the layout is not permanent and may change.
Benefits
The adopted lighting solution effectively and precisely addressed all the technical and design requirements, resulting in an intervention that successfully combines aesthetics and performance. The light highlights each fragrance with precision, emphasizing material details, enhancing transparencies, reflections, and finishes without altering their colors. At the same time, it helps define a refined atmosphere, perfectly aligned with the identity and elegance of the space, guiding visitors through a harmonious sensory experience.

Particular attention was given to visual comfort: the light sources remain discreet, shielded from view, avoiding any glare and ensuring a natural and pleasant perception of the environment. The fixtures integrate harmoniously with the architecture, becoming part of the design without imposing themselves, achieving a successful synthesis of form and function. The result is an optimal combination of design, energy efficiency, and lighting performance, capable of sustaining the quality of the boutique experience over time. Rimani’s lighting thus showcases the fragrances with delicate yet precise illumination, enhancing their identity without ever overpowering it, and highlighting every detail of the Nishane Boutique with refined and accurate light.
