Starting Point
The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England, was preparing for the «Colour Revolution: Victorian Art, Fashion & Design» exhibition. The aim was to demonstrate how the Victorian era was characterised by a burst of colour, in contrast to its dreary reputation. Ensuring the proper presentation of exhibits and creating various chromatic areas in the galleries was of paramount importance.
Solution
To meet this challenge, Oddy-tested textiles were chosen to line the cabinets. Byung Kim carefully selected various colours of the transparent SINFONIA CS curtain fabric and mounted them on installation tracks to achieve the desired visual effects. This choice ensures an impressive presentation and helps vividly convey the story of the Victorian colour revolution.
