Partanen & Lamusuo was responsible for exhibition and graphic design of the space. The bright display cases lighted from within give the space a rhythm and let the items shine with their own true colors. The exhibition is divided into five distinctly colored different themes based on the glass factory’s history and the glass items displayed. The acoustics and the ability to read the description text of the items played an important role when designing the exhibition.
