An exhibition exploring how Nordic architects and designers transformed illumination from a practical necessity into an art form.
Co-curated by Lee F. Mindel, FAIA, and Paul Jackson, the exhibition brings together over 100 works of historic lighting from Denmark, Sweden, and Finland, featuring Paavo Tynell, Alvar Aalto, Poul Henningsen, Verner Panton, Harald Notini, and Edward Hald.
Spanning the golden age of Nordic design, the exhibition reveals how light became an essential element of architecture and atmosphere, uniting function, beauty, and artistic expression, immersed within a celestial atmosphere with Swiss mineral paints provided by and wool textiles by
