About Clay Moulded Dizajn Interieri Teatri
Clay Moulded është dizajni i brendshëm i një teatri muzikor në Klaipeda, Lituani. Argjila mbulon muret dhe tavanet, dhe mbi 30 tonë material u aplikuan me dorë. Modeli i sallës kryesore është i vazhdueshëm dhe shtrihet nga njëri skaj i hapësirës në tjetrin. Për projektin u zhvillua një proces veshjeje me shtatë faza, duke përfshirë spërkatjen, modelimin, tharjen, fërkimin, smaltimin dhe konservimin. Muret dhe tavanet mund të hapen dhe mbyllen për të kontrolluar reflektimet e zërit, kështu që hapësira përshtatet për koncerte, shfaqje teatrale dhe takime. Salla e auditorit ka 700 vende.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- For the interior décor, we chose an archaic material - clay. It is probably the largest interior in the world made of natural clay. The pattern and technology of the hall is unique and continuous throughout the space, created by one artist Mantas Petravičius. All planes are in motion. They open and close (as you can see in photo 3) depending on the nature of the concert and the acoustics required. And that's what makes this space even more unique.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The whole theater is 10 000m2 size. The auditorium has seating capacity of 700 people. We used over 30 tonnes of clay for wall decor.

- Production Technology
- We used over 30 tonnes of clay for the walls and ceilings of the entire interior. This work took nine months to complete using unique tools created exclusively for this work and was carried out by the hands. The clay coating process is also unique, developed exclusively for this theatre.The process itself consists of 7 stages (clay spraying, patterning, drying, scrubbing, re-spraying, glazing, conservation). It takes about 3 weeks to complete all the steps. The whole process was implemented on the construction site.
- Design Challenge
- The decor of the main hall is a continuous pattern starting at one end of the hall and ending at the other. Meanwhile, the process required major interruptions and took 9 months. The hardest part was to bring everything together into a coherent picture. The rest of the public spaces (lobbies, passages, staircases) are also made of clay. Here, the pattern is different, but also handmade.
- Research
- Clay was used for wall and ceiling decor.
The whole process was done by hand in stages:
1.) First, the clay is sprayed, then swiped with special tools made just for this object to form waves.
2.) Waiting for everything to dry. Then the sharp corners are scrubbed.
3.) Repeat the spraying with a thinner layer. After spraying, the clay shall be brushed to distribute the clay evenly and to form a soft surface.
4.) Wait for everything to dry.
5.) Everything is impregnated and preserved. - Inspiration
- The city of Klaipėda, where the theatre is located, is by the sea. We were inspired by the sandy coastline of the sea and the shores shaped by the waves. Klaipėda is an old city dominated by red clay brick buildings. For us, the sea and the clay became the basis for the idea. As this is a theatre, clay seemed to us to be the right material to create a dramatic mood.
- Project Duration
- The project lasted 5 years. The clay decoration alone took 9 months. The theatre is realized in Klaipeda, Lithuania.
- Operation Flow
- This theatre has transformable walls and ceilings.
They open up. This controls sound reflections. The space adapts to the event. (Depending on whether it's a concert, a play, an meeting event). - Image Credits
