for an exhibition at the national museum of slovenia in ljubljana, presledek design collective aimed to encourage visitors to actively participate in the viewing of the pieces by guiding them through a series of different ambiences. the layout plan was based on the delineation or creation of several smaller areas inside a big space. to access these new rooms you just have to follow a path, similar to the one we use when we move between larger rooms through narrow corridors in a residential apartment.

in order to generate this journey, a floating division that gives an impression of lightness and transparency was created to form the walls, rooms and corridors. the structure is made of a solid brass profile with black threads used as filling, alluding one of the first methods by which clay vessels shown on the exhibition were decorated: thread was imprinted into the fresh material, imprinting an ornamental texture.
the layout aims to encourage concentrated participation on the part of the viewer
the design of the exhibition prevents the viewer from rushing uninterested through its content and missing out on the historical insight it offers. it encourages the user to walk through a determined path that leads into discrete ambiances, enabling an up-close view of important porcelain objects while dividing a space with a non-permanent structure that acts as an installation itself.
