Course: Foyer
A foyer is more than just a passageway. Here, light welcomes people, guides their gaze, opens up spaces, and makes orientation easier. It connects people, architecture, and art, and leaves a lasting first impression: it feels clear, warm, safe, and inviting. This course guides you through an instructive foyer.
Here you explore how professional lighting design shapes foyers, information desks, exhibitions, cafés, and passages in museums. Discover how the interplay of wallwashing, accent lighting, visual comfort, visitor guidance, orientation, lighting control, and glare-free lighting creates an atmosphere, brings art to life, and makes spaces safe, prestigious, and inviting — from the reception area to the exhibition rooms, both by day and by night.

Reception
Wallwashing makes the foyer feel spacious, bright, and welcoming. It strengthens orientation, atmosphere, and identity – right through to the event.
Guidance and orientation
Light guides visitors safely through the museum. Contrast and visual comfort make the information desk, stairs, toilets, and passageways clearly visible.
Staging space and materiality
Wallwashing expands spaces visually, accent lighting emphasises artworks, and directed light brings out the authentic character of material surfaces.
