About Benaki Museum Pavilion 建築照明
ベナキ博物館パヴィリオンは、ミュージアムショップ兼展示スペースのための建築照明計画である。回転式の鉄製エントランスドアには展示ケースが組み込まれ、照明はドア構造そのものに統合されている。オーダーメイドの球形照明器具はマグネットで固定され、金属に彫り込まれた低電圧回路によって給電されるため、ケーブルは一切見えない。室内では、木製の天井梁の間に設けられた埋め込みトラックに可動式スポットライトを配置。クールホワイトのコーブ照明がアルミフォーム製の棚を際立たせ、小型の埋め込みスポットライトが展示品を照らし出す。

- Unique Properties
- The signature entrance iron door holds exhibit cases and the concept was the lighting to be part of the structure. The lighting of the interior is also discreet and achieved with adjustable spots in recessed tracks between the ceiling wooden beams, so not to interfere with the general aesthetics, but to provide lighting adaptability. The aluminum foam shelves with their shimmering glow are given more emphasis with a dramatic effect of the cove lighting in cool white. The desired atmosphere was completed by tiny recessed track spot lights in the shelves, to highlight the artifacts
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Ceiling tracks: W 17mm x H 20mm x L custom.
Ceiling spots: Ø38mm, H 60mm.
Shelves' recessed track: W 17mm x H 20mm x L custom.
Curved especially for recessing into the round-shaped shelves.
Shelves' spots: Ø14mm, H 18mm.
Custom spherical magnetic spots: Ø35mm. - Tags

Use of the minimum size of track systems and fixtures for general lighting of the space and artifacts lighting on the shelves, LEDstrips for cove lighting and custom made small-scale fixtures for magnetic mounting on the exhibition cases of the pivoting iron door. - Design Challenge
- No product could provide lighting on the door with no obvious cables or infrastructure so everything was prototype. We designed small spherical LED fixtures for flexibility and style. We used magnets inside the bodies and a 3mm wide circuit was carved in each case on the metal structure of the door, powered with low voltage for electrifying the custom-made fixtures. The challenges were: to engrave this micro power-line on the metal structure, to insulate it, to supply it with electricity despite the pivotal movement of the door and the spherical spot light to be stable and well secured on.
- Research
- The lighting design respected the architect's concept throughout the process. The small size of the building along with the demanding parameters of a shop and exhibition venue, were the context for the lighting study. The study was based on technical research in order to make possible LIGHTING WITHOUT VISIBLE CABLES , for the spotlights of the iron entrance door. A group of people from electrical engineers to craftsmen worked on realizing the prototypes of the small scale lighting fixtures that we had designed as spheres in order to add the unique character of this project.
- Inspiration
- In a unique symbiosis of Culture and Leisure, the Benaki Museum inaugurated in June 2019 a new pavilion into the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel at the Athens Riviera. The building that functions as the Museum’s shop as well as an exhibition space, is an example of Greek modern architecture built in the 50s. The architectural concept was inspired by the binaries of the day and night cycle. The pivotal movement of the entrance gate mirrors this succession. The lighting concept was through simplicity and minimalism to highlight the architectural features as well as the concept. Night and day, light and shadow, visible and invisible, inside and outside were the path the lighting design concept, followed.
- Project Duration
- The project lasted 4 months from concept to execution.
- Operation Flow
- The flexibility of the track system both on the shelves as well as between the ceiling wooden beams gives a lot of freedom to the operators of the shop to change the positions of the merchandise and often have a new look. Similar adaptability has the entrance door / display with the magnetic custom and patent pending spherical lights that can be moved freely on it.
