St. Nicholas’ Church Berlin

St. Nicholas is the oldest church and one of the oldest buildings in the city. The St. Nicholas Church was originally built as a stone basilica in the 13th century. Today, it’s actual look is due to repeated modifications over the years.

For it’s current use as a museum and venue for classical music and organ concerts, Studio Dinnebier, from Berlin, designed a lighting concept which posed a technical challenge in both form and functionality. The partnership with mawa produced 9 different types of floor, wall, and suspended lights, all in a distinctive design language. 

The key feature, a rotatable glass globe with an integrated light source, is the recurring theme woven throughout the entire house of worship.
