Creation of a museum educational laboratory in China

Description

The room, enclosed on four sides and served by two well-built staircases, runs lengthwise, with natural light incident diagonally from above. To balance the perception of surfaces, the space has been divided into three zones. The central one, characterized by large countertops and full-volume seating, is flanked by a series of tables and chairs arranged along the perimeter wall. On either side are the other two areas, equipped with tables, chairs, wall shelving and a painter’s easel. The furniture in these two areas is differentiated by shape and color, and each element is custom designed, favoring the use of wood declined in the colors needed.

The overall exhibition layout adheres to Western stylistic standards, immersing visitors in the study of Italian art and related workshops, while incorporating nods to local traditions in material usage and craftsmanship.

Lighting received meticulous attention, with numerous light fixtures evenly distributed along the walls and additional floor lamps illuminating the workspaces and pathways.

To increase the natural brightness of the classroom, light colors were chosen to enhance the spaciousness of the context. The flooring, already present and completed, was preserved in its entirety, according to the client’s instructions.

Moreover, the project entailed the detailed design of all furnishings, developed through to production stage.

At the heart of the project lies the children’s usability, fostering an environment where they can freely explore and express their creativity.
