Note Design Studio designed a hall for the exhibition “Shapes of Light – 120 lamps 120 years” at the Nordiska Museum in Stockholm. Inspired by “Mångata” – a unique Swedish word for the light-line created by the moon on the water at night – the installation captures the experience of the nordic light.

The three designers Alexis Holmqvist, Jesper Mellgren and Johannes Carlström explain that they took as inspiration the oldest sources of light available – the moon and the sun. The installation is set into the museum’s unique banquet hall – 126 meters long, 15 meters wide and 24 meters high, resembling a Gothic cathedral with high arches and pillars – which is the heart of the building. The discs of the sun and the moon creates graphical focal points in each end of the hall.
