Berlin's Museum of Applied Arts

Lichtvision was responsible for the artificial lighting design of Berlin's Museum of Applied Arts, Germany, completed in 2014 with Kuehn Malvezzi Architects.

The new fashion exhibition is to be entered through a tunnel which allows the adaptation of the visitor’s eye on the 50lx conservation level. The large-scaled cabinets with their impressive glass front and the uniform-coloured surfaces are designed for the optimised presentation of the fashion mannequins. The lighting elements are hidden well and defining the space in a perfect manner.

The lighting components are a linear and diffuse wall wash and backlight luminaire, a linear and indirect cove lighting for the inscriptions and a ceiling channel with a row of adjustable fibre optic spots as the main exhibit illumination element. All lighting components guarantee a very good colour rendering with a CRI over 90.
