Lucas Zito

The Lucas Zito site with a lamp lit, framed on paper

Collectible lighting sold like a gallery, with Shopify behind the wall.

Lucas Zito designs collectible lights in Paris, printed from bio sourced and reclaimed plastics. His site had to feel like a gallery, not a shop, so the home page is a dark room where each lamp lights on hover or tap. The collection lives in Shopify and reaches the site through the Storefront API, with product metafields deciding what appears where. Enquiry comes first; the store behind it is ready for the day the studio opens it. Displace designed and built the site from a blank page and runs it.

Made to order on Shopify
Lucas Zito home

A lamp is not a SKU.

Each piece is shown lit and unlit, in a room, before anything is asked of the visitor.

Exhibitions

The catalogue is the content.

Product metafields decide which pieces appear on the home page, in the collection and in the carousel, so the studio edits Shopify and the site follows.

About Lucas Zito

Motion carries the brand.

The carousel turns a browse into a lit detail without leaving the page, and the address bar keeps up.

"Design objects need a gallery before they need a cart. We built the gallery first and let Shopify wait quietly behind it."

Results

  • A gallery that can sell

    The site reads as an exhibition, and the Shopify catalogue underneath is ready when the studio is.

  • The studio edits, the site follows

    Visibility on every page is driven by product metafields, so nothing changes in code when the collection moves.

  • Motion as one system

    The lit hero, the carousel and the year slider are built as one motion language.
