KEN MATSUBARA

The moon is beautiful

At St. Peter’s Art Station, Ken Matsubara intervenes in the space with reflections. Among other things, the painting of St. Peter by Peter Paul Rubens is reflected as if in a river. The baroque painting is set in motion by the reflection. It flows, it is fluid, but it remains in its place.

Alberto Campo Baeza

The spiritual qualities of daylight

Abstract, mostly white forms with only a minimum of visible details and a masterful lighting design – Alberto Campo Baeza has become internationally renowned for this architecture. This year, the Spanish architect was honoured with the Daylight Award in Denmark for his sensitive use of daylight.

Life World

EONSLD – Tamburins Seongsu Flagship Store

» The central void in the urban space
Tamburins not only consolidates its brand through the products, but the shop is designed to allow customers to experience the brand and intuitively present the aesthetics they pursue.
For the recently opened flagship store in Seongsu, different scenarios were tried out to add volume and light to the central area, where vertical and horizontal lines expand greatly. Key to this was the choice of a louvre profile luminaire mounted close to the glass structure to illuminate it upwards, at a temperature of 3000K.
