Unilever Cambodia Office Lighting Project

A modern workplace must support daily tasks while encouraging communication, collaboration, and creative exchange. Its lighting should respond to different activities and form a consistent visual relationship with the corporate brand and interior design.

The Unilever Cambodia office in Phnom Penh includes open workstations, flexible collaboration zones, lounge seating, employee pantry facilities, and branded areas.

Suspended LED linear lights, recessed downlights, surface-mounted spotlights, globe pendants, and decorative fixtures create a layered lighting environment. These luminaires work with the blue exposed ceiling, colorful graphics, indoor plants, and contemporary furniture.

Project Overview

Project: Unilever Cambodia Office
Location: Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Project type: Corporate office

Office Lighting Requirements

Supporting Flexible Ways of Working

The office combines fixed workstations with shared tables, informal meeting settings, lounge seating, and open discussion zones.

These spaces support focused tasks, team meetings, short discussions, and employee breaks. Each activity benefits from an appropriate layer of illumination.

Suspended linear lights provide continuous workplace illumination. Downlights and surface-mounted fixtures supplement ambient light, while decorative pendants create a more relaxed atmosphere in social areas.

Uniform Lighting for Open Workstations

The open office contains multiple rows of computer workstations. The lighting must cover desks and circulation routes while maintaining an organized ceiling layout.

White suspended LED linear lights follow the workstation arrangement and provide continuous illumination across the main working areas. Their simple appearance coordinates with the white ceilings, exposed blue structure, and light-colored furniture.

Professional workplace planning should also consider monitor orientation, desk positions, and glare control to improve visual comfort.

Balancing Natural Daylight

Large windows bring abundant daylight into the office.

Artificial lighting supplements daylight and helps maintain suitable illumination at workstations farther from the façade. Zoned switching or dimming can provide additional flexibility under different weather and daylight conditions.

Reinforcing the Unilever Brand

Unilever’s distinctive blue, green, and multicolored graphics appear throughout the interior. Its logo, illustrated walls, and colorful architectural features create a strong workplace identity.

Accent spotlights highlight the green logo wall and selected graphic elements. Black cylindrical luminaires contrast with the exposed blue ceiling, integrating the company’s colors into the overall spatial design.

Creating Comfortable Collaboration Areas

Lounges and informal discussion areas require a softer and more welcoming atmosphere than traditional workstations.

Globe pendants, woven shades, and other decorative fixtures provide localized illumination above seating areas and shared tables. Warm furniture colors, timber surfaces, and plants create a comfortable and energetic environment.

A Layered LED Office Lighting Solution

The project combines several lighting methods:

Suspended LED linear lights above open workstations
Recessed downlights along circulation and transition areas
Black surface-mounted downlights within exposed ceilings
Track spotlights highlighting branded and decorative walls
Globe pendants defining lounge and collaboration areas
Woven pendants creating a natural and relaxed atmosphere
Integrated lighting above pantry counters and cabinets
Decorative lighting distinguishing different workplace settings

Task, accent, and decorative lighting work together to connect the office while giving each functional zone a recognizable character.

Lighting Across Different Areas

Brand and Reception Area

The green Unilever logo wall combines accent lighting, globe pendants, and daylight to create a recognizable corporate feature. Indoor planting and lounge furniture keep the area open, welcoming, and energetic.

Open-Plan Office

Suspended linear luminaires follow the workstations and support computer-based tasks and document reading. Their elongated form also reinforces the direction and visual order of the office.

Flexible Collaboration Space

Decorative pendants, surface-mounted downlights, and daylight illuminate shared tables and movable seating. The space can support informal meetings, individual tasks, and short discussions.

Employee Pantry and Break Area

Linear pendants, spotlights, and integrated cabinet lighting provide suitable illumination for counters, dining tables, and lounge seating.

Timber flooring, colorful chairs, and decorative pendants give the space a more relaxed atmosphere than the main office.

Circulation and Glazed Meeting Areas

Recessed downlights follow the principal routes through the office. Glass partitions retain visual openness and allow the lighting in adjacent areas to connect naturally.

Project Result

The completed lighting system creates a bright, flexible, and distinctly branded workplace for the Unilever Cambodia office.

Linear lights provide continuous illumination above open workstations. Spotlights highlight corporate graphics, while decorative pendants create a more comfortable atmosphere in collaboration and pantry areas.

The lighting works with daylight, corporate colors, plants, timber finishes, and contemporary furniture to balance workplace performance, visual comfort, and brand expression.

Why Is Professional Corporate Office Lighting Important?

A professionally planned office lighting system can:

Provide stable illumination across open workstations
Improve visual comfort for computer-based tasks
Balance perimeter daylight with interior illumination
Distinguish focused, meeting, and social areas
Highlight corporate logos and brand graphics
Coordinate with exposed and enclosed ceiling systems
Create a more engaging employee experience

Final luminaire specifications should be determined according to ceiling height, workstation layout, screen orientation, daylight, glare control, and lighting-control requirements.
