The Museum of Art Stand, designed by Smart Design Expo and Lukasz Zaremba, is a minimalist masterpiece that transforms the traditional art gallery experience. Inspired by the concept of a 'party in the museum of art', the stand is a private yet relaxed space that invites visitors to immerse themselves in the art.
What sets this design apart is its unique exterior. Instead of traditional walls, the stand features black matte laminate fins with gray marbling, sharply angled towards the booth's center. This innovative design allows attendees to catch glimpses of the stand's interior, piquing their curiosity. The centerpiece of the stand is a pair of shimmering, translucent curtains made from 250 strands of delicate golden chains, inspired by dripping water.
The stand is sectioned into three showrooms to feature classic wares, traditional bestsellers, and new products. The products are arranged as individually lit art installations, with luxury bathtubs set atop platforms a couple of inches above the floor, sink basins mounted vertically on walls, and faucets arranged atop cabinet-like kiosks. The stand's crown jewel is a series of faucets in the center of the new-product showroom, set on a bronze rectangular counter with a black top.
The design was created for Omnires, a Polish manufacturer of luxury bathroom basins, tubs, and faucets, for the Warsaw Home 2019 trade fair. The project was a challenge, as the designers had to create an intriguing atmosphere in the crowded exhibition halls and represent Omnires' fresh new rebranding. However, the result was a stand that not only reinforced Omnires' high-end positioning but also made a significant 'wow' effect.
The Museum of Art Stand is a testament to the power of minimalist design and the potential of art galleries to be more than just a place to display art. It is a space where visitors can feel relaxed, inspired, and engaged, a place where art and design come together to create a unique experience. The stand's success is evident in its accolades, having been awarded the Golden A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2020.
The Museum of Art Stand is a shining example of how art, design, and innovation can come together to create a truly unique and engaging experience. It is a testament to the creativity and talent of Smart Design Expo and Lukasz Zaremba, and a beacon for future designs in the art and exhibition industry.
