Arario Gallery, Seoul: Sustainable, flexible and precise gallery lighting
Arario Gallery Seoul in Space, under the stewardship of the prominent business executive and globally acclaimed art collector Kim Chang-il, curates an extensive collection exceeding 3,700 works from Korea and around the world. The gallery's enduring exhibition, Arario Collection, unfolds the evolution of modern art over a span of 40 years. Notably, the gallery building, once the property of SPACE, an architectural office, exemplifies the architectural concept of symbiosis.
Having previously housed SPACE, the gallery's architecture eloquently embodies the principle of coexistence. Exterior tiles are meticulously crafted to blend seamlessly with Changdeokgung Palace and the nearby hanoks, while the facade is adorned with ivy branches, creating a symbiotic relationship with the natural surroundings.
Using Jilly downlights for track to floodlight a room highlights their versatile functionality and effectiveness in lighting design. These luminaires serve a dual purpose by not only providing ample illumination but also minimizing the number of fixtures required, contributing to a clean and uncluttered ceiling. The focus on reducing the number of luminaires not only simplifies the visual landscape but also enhances the overall ambiance of the room. This minimalist approach to lighting design not only reduces visual distractions but also contributes to energy efficiency.
