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.
The exhibition provides an insight into the complete works of Laurenz Theinert. It includes photographic works, light art and light-sound performances. In addition to five light installations, the exhibition also presents photographs from various series of works.
