Lighting control for a new pizzeria in the Máj department store

A new pizzeria has opened on the second floor of the Máj House of Fun on Národní třída. It is part of a modern food hall and its interior continues the tradition of Neapolitan pizzerias. Warm colors, striking details, and a relaxed atmosphere contrast with the hustle and bustle of the city and transport visitors to Italy.

Our task was to design and deliver a complete lighting control system so that the individual layers of light would work together and emphasize the character of the space.

Light as part of the experience

The lighting combines functional and atmospheric elements. During the day, it adapts to traffic and creates a varied mood according to current needs.

We controlled:
– spotlights to highlight the pizza menu
– DALI panels in the suspended ceiling for basic area lighting
– illuminated signs and logo
– silicone snakes with digital LED strips that gently shape the space and give it depth

All lighting elements are connected into a single system. The light changes smoothly, without disruptive differences or abrupt transitions.

Simple controls for operators

The entire system is connected to the Spectoda App. Operators have preset scenes in the app and can easily switch between them depending on the time of day or how busy the space is.

Technically, it is a complex solution, but in everyday operation, everything is as simple and clear as possible.

Technology used

We chose a combination of components that can flexibly control various types of lights:

• SC Industry A control of DALI luminaires and lighting scenes
• Shelly Plus RGBW powered by Spectoda control of RGBW lighting elements
• Spectoda Pixel Mini 12–24 V control of digital LED strips in silicone tubes

This has allowed us to combine spot, area, and scene lighting into a single system.

Result

The new pizzeria in the House of Fun Prague now offers functional and atmospheric lighting that enhances the Neapolitan character of the interior while giving the operator full control over the lighting.

The lighting responds to the space, traffic, and time of day. It is not just a technical element, but part of the overall experience.
