Pecci Museum

At a junction between Florence and Pistoia lies the Pecci Museum; an international hub of contemporary art with a critical collection mapping art from the 1960s to the present. Commissioned by the Municipality of Prato, from the Tuscan Region, and appointed by Maurice Nio, creative designer of the museum and founder of the eponymous architectural studio, Kino Workshop had the honor of designing the ambient lighting, developing a flexible system of:
-natural light guided through 99 Solatubes with total luxometric control
-artificial light along electrified, serpentine tracks holding directional, spherical optics to perfectly illuminate individual artworks.

In the two videos below, architects Maurice Nio and Bernardo D’Ippolito of Kino Workshop explain the idiosyncrasies of this extraordinary project.
