Lighting concept for Flöha art railway station

Lighting designer Ruairí O’Brien has developed a customised lighting solution for the Kunstbahnhof Flöha that harmoniously combines two central functions:

• Functional lighting that fulfils the usage requirements as a railway station and exhibition venue,
• Artistic staging that atmospherically emphasises the special architecture of the hall.

The individual lighting and colour concept

for the station concourse was developed by Ruairí O’Brien in close collaboration with the town of Flöha and the project lead architect Gert Humburg (responsible for the station refurbishment) especially for this location. It emphasises the clear, high-quality architecture of the station concourse and creates the perfect setting for the exhibition and art installations there as part of Chemnitz, European Capital of Culture 2025 (e.g. Tanja Rochelmeyer’s window front design).

A cultural highlight with sustainable prospects

The Kunstbahnhof Flöha is developing into a cultural centre of supra-regional importance with changing exhibitions. As a special highlight of the Capital of Culture year, it attracts art lovers from all over the region. And beyond 2025, it will remain a lively art venue with regular exhibitions and installations.
