Cuypers Forklifts is a specialized company for rental of forklifts, container stackers, container stackers and so-called terminal tractors. The company’s workshop is centrally located in the Port of Antwerp, where most of its customers are located.
In the bustling port of Antwerp, Cuypers Forklifts has erected its new 1500 m² headquarters, right next to the existing warehouses. The design of this project, realized by Interior Architect DeWaide, is all about elegance and efficiency.
The goal was to install a smart and stylish lighting system that can adapt to its surroundings and save energy.
The Lighting Design
The lighting concept for Cuypers Forklifts is based on a clear and simple design, aiming to create a central lighting experience that attracts attention and enhances the space. Using both direct and indirect lighting, the design creates contrast and depth, providing functional and ambient lighting. It seeks to balance aesthetics and performance while complementing the architectural style and interior design of the project.
