Altman Lighting illuminates Louis Vuitton show
- Details
Conceived and designed by Robert Carsen, the thematic journey has been touring around the world, including a stop in Seoul, South Korea. With strict guidelines for the exhibition lighting design, lighting specialist Baesung Kim needed a series of powerful yet flexible lighting solutions, so he worked with distributor Hansam Systems and created a design with 260 Gallery LED luminaires from Altman Lighting.
“The exhibition was part of the world tour for the Louis Vuitton show with the initial exhibition design coming from France that included lighting product specifications,” began Baesung Kim. “I joined the team for the stage setting and assisted with the product proposal, installation and execution of the show. Knowing we wanted to change the original product specifications to the Gallery LED series, we first conducted testing in South Korea, and then sent a product sample to France for their approval on specification.”
Kim continued, “I really like the intensity of illumination we can achieve with the 50W Gallery series and it has a good CRI value and local dim function. Additionally, it was also ideal for the design because the exhibition was very elegant and sophisticated, and the Gallery fixtures matched the luxurious concept of the show.
“The show was held inside the Dongdaemun Design Plaza and the Gallery fixtures were installed in the ceiling to illuminate nine of the 15 exhibitions,” explained Kim. “The fixture lamps ran for approximately 8-10 hours per day, throughout the course of the 90-day exhibition, and we used them to illuminate the various exhibition elements using full beams of light, and also specific points of light by cutting the beam with the Gallery shutter system.
“We really appreciated the assistance we received from the sales and technical teams at Hansam Systems,” concluded Kim. “They perfectly coordinated the order and delivery schedule for the Gallery fixtures, and even helped on the onsite installation.”
