Museum of Applied Art

The fashion gallery is a 250m long drawn-out room sequence equipped with large-scaled mannequin and smaller accessory cabinets. The pathway illumination is realized only by the scattered light of the cabinets. Therefore the low pathway light level of about 5 lx and the dark colored surfaces guarantee the low adaptation level of the visitor eye and so supporting the 50 lx exhibit presentation on a noticeable higher percepted brightness level.The large-scaled cabinets with their impressive glass front and the uniform colored surfaces are designed for the optimized 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 wallwash and backlight luminaire, a linear and indirect cove lighting for the inscriptions and a ceiling channel with a row of adjustable fiber optic spots as the main exhibit illumination element.
