KYKLOS - Centre for Arts and Cultures

KYKLOS is a new cultural center currently under development in Piraeus, near the “Neo Faliro” metro station. On the initiative of the Dinos and Lia Martinos Foundation (DLMF) and designed by the Renzo Piano Building Workshop, the project will host art collections and cultural programming with an international outlook.
Conceived as an open and accessible place for art, learning and public life, KARDORFF has been responsible for the lighting design of all Front of House areas (exhibition galleries, cafeteria, offices, landscape, etc.), from the conceptual phase through to execution planning.

    • Swedish Nationalmuseum

      Project

      With the motto: „Nationalmuseum in a New Light“, the Swedish National Museum reopened its doors in October 2018 after an extensive renovation. The museum, originally built by August Stüler, has been a landmark in Sweden since its opening in 1866 and is the largest art museum in the Nordic region. The combination of daylight and artificial light interfering with the historically inspired colour concept for the interior walls provides a unique museum experience.

    • The New Museum

      Project

      Another milestone for our team: the lighting of a world heritage site and a large, internationally famous collection. In 2009, after ten years of intensive planning, we were able to handover the realized lighting concept in the restored Neues Museum. The discreet light atmosphere and the soft, yet precise
      illumination of the objects – particularly Nefertiti – are highly admired by museum specialists and visitors. For the overall architecture, David Chipperfield received the 2011 German Architecture Prize, among other recognitions.
