Client Spotlight: No Bull Shoes Corporate HQ

No Bull Shoes' headquarters was a unique opportunity for CLI Design to bring dynamic, award-winning lighting to life. Tasked with creating a space that mirrored the brand’s bold, no-nonsense identity, CLI implemented a lighting strategy that not only elevated the HQ’s aesthetic but also optimized functionality.

Award-Winning Design: No Bull’s HQ received industry recognition for its innovative retail and lighting design—a testament to the power of well-executed lighting. Each fixture was selected to complement the brand’s commitment to high-quality, straightforward products.

Brand-Centric Aesthetics: By incorporating industrial-inspired lighting elements, CLI created a sleek yet functional environment that enhances the No Bull brand’s identity. The space speaks to the brand’s ethos: simplicity, strength, and authenticity.

Whether illuminating a workspace or highlighting product displays, CLI’s design ensures every corner of No Bull HQ stands as a testament to the brand's values. This project showcases how lighting can seamlessly blend with a brand’s aesthetic while delivering an impactful visual experience.

University of Alabama at Birmingham Bookstore

The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Bookstore project exemplifies CLI’s expertise in revitalizing spaces through strategic lighting. Located in a basement with limited natural light, the bookstore presented a unique set of challenges—but also a rewarding opportunity.

Bringing Light to the Heart of Campus: CLI's design transformed this essential campus hub, ensuring it feels bright, inviting, and conducive to exploration. The lighting system was meticulously planned to maximize brightness and clarity, making the store feel spacious and welcoming.

Modernization and Energy Efficiency: The design marries sleek, modern fixtures with energy-efficient technology, boosting both the aesthetic and operational aspects of the space. This approach not only enhances visual appeal but also supports the university's commitment to sustainability.

Maximizing Limited Natural Light: With only a few windows to provide natural daylight, lighting was crucial in defining the atmosphere of this basement-based store. CLI’s solution amplifies available light and creates a dynamic, modern environment that uplifts and invigorates.?
