In the past couple of years, San Francisco has become a hot spot for artisanal shoe makers. Rothy’s is the latest brand to join the list of locally made alternative shoes. Founded in 2016 by Stephen P. Hawthornthwaite and W. Roth Martin, Rothy’s specializes in stylish, comfortable, and sustainable women’s footwear. Think colorful pointy-toed flats and printed loafers made from recycled plastic bottles. Yesterday, the two-year-old brand opened its first boutique on Fillmore Street in Pacific Heights.
Kiboworks provided the dual color illuminated ceiling for the shoe makers, in the daylight hours the overhead stretch ceiling provide white light in 3000K range and in the evening the store is bathed in soft blue light giving a dramatic effect against the walls and floor. The unique shape of the ceiling created an issue for standard products that would have left visible dark voids, only Kiboworks LED Ceiling system could overcome the angles and curves without the costly overruns that other products experience.
