Cartier - Nagoya - Japan

In 2026, Ponctuelle designed the lighting for the new Cartier maison in Nagoya, Japan, located in HAERA in the Sakae district.

On the street side, a textured screen with golden reflections frames the shop window.

Inside, the retail space plays on powdery tones and soft, rounded volumes. The sculpted ceilings are highlighted by lighting coves that diffuse an enveloping light. Petal-shaped pendants float above the counters, while the display cases showcase each jewellery creation.

On the staircase, a cascade of golden pendants accompanies visitors as they move through the space.
