Celestone
Exhibition Center for Griana Design
The exhibition hall aims to create an atmosphere different from a traditional gallery environment. This project intends to reinterpret the relationship between art and the natural world. Functioning as both an exhibition and social space, the space extends its exhibitions into an integrated cafe area. Visitors can interact with digital artworks while drinking or gathering with friends. Combining natural aesthetics with screens, the project offers an environment where art and nature intersects.

Unique Properties
Inspired by various rock and stone forms found in nature, wall textures and seating areas were created. The idea that gives the pendant lamps their shape is the crystalline structures found in mines. The pink tree used in the space was used as a reflection of all colors, considering its compatibility with the concept.

Production Technology
The seating elements in the project are made of concrete material and the panels used on the wall are made of wood material with stone surface. Ceiling pendant lights are also made of wooden material and the material on the floor is black microcement. The screens consist of two parts, one on the ceiling and one on the wall. Flexible screen material type is used.
Design Challenge
Bringing stones and crystals to a common ground with other elements in a hall for a digital art exhibition was a challenging enough process. The space took its final form with touches of both colour and texture
Project Duration
The project is designed from April 2024 to October 2024 in İstanbul.
Operation Flow
It is an exhibition space designed mainly for the exhibition of digital arts. The exhibition screen also continues in the cafe area. In this way, people can enjoy the exhibition while having a drink or sitting with their friends. The concrete seating elements in the exhibition area allow a large number of people to watch the performances together.
Research
This design is based on the concept of natural life. In this project, there is observation and inspiration from nature. It is a project that emerged as a result of a research that is possible by travelling, seeing and feeling. At the same time, technologically popular ai adds a different vitality to the spaces. It has been prepared on a ground where digital art technology is also used.
Inspiration
The idea came from the belief that as the world goes digital, nature should be included in this transformation. At this point, some elements of nature were used to make digital exhibition spaces feel more natural.
