Danish practice JAC STUDIOS’ Yumin Art Nouveau Collection superseded 70 finalists across ten categories to be named the 2018 World Interior of the Year.Yumin Art Nouveau Collection is a permanent poetic glass exhibition housed in Genius Loci in Phoenix Jeju in the South Korean peninsula. Featuring delicate glass produced in the Art Nouveau movement between 1870s to 1940s, the exhibition includes works by French artist Emile Galle, one of the major forces in the French Art Nouveau movement, along with works by leaders in the decorative glassmaking field — brothers Auguste and Antonin Daum.According to the press release, JAC STUDIOS uses glass as the principle material to transform the interiors and welcome areas of the Genius Loci — a building by celebrated Japanese architect Tadao Ando (Pritzker Prize and RIBA Royal Gold Medal winner). The studio worked closely with Art Nouveau experts including Didier Laugault from Chambre Nationale des Expert Specialises to create the exhibition.Johan Carlsson, founder of JAC STUDIOS said: “The architecture by Tadao Ando plays a magnificent setting for the exhibition. The architecture is in itself a piece of art and visitors cannot avoid being touched by its beauty. The new museum is respectful but also challenges the context of the architecture.” “The introduction to the exhibition begins from the approach to the Yumin Museum. The signage on the facade reflects the horizon of the sea,” he adds.The INSIDE World Interior of the Year award was judged by INSIDE festival’s 2018 super-jurors – Tom Alexander, Director at Aukett Swanke; Christopher Brandon, Managing Director at Perkins + Will; Nigel Coates, Director at Nigel Coates; Paivi Meuronen, Interior Architect at JKMM Architects; Lyndon Neri, Founding Partner at Neri&Hu Design; and Vesna Petresin, Visiting Fellow at Goldsmiths, University of London. The judges appreciated the exhibition’s “crafted sensitivity, to both the building and the Galle glass, to which the museum is dedicated to.”The award was presented at the finale of INSIDE World Festival of Interiors, held last week at the historic Beurs van Berlage. INSIDE World Festival of Interiors is co-located with the World Festival of Architecture and together they form the largest celebration of contemporary architecture and design in the world.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
