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.
