Crafting Comprehensive Museum Environments
1. Walls, Partitions, Headers: Defining Spaces with Purpose
In the intricate world of museum design, every element serves a purpose, and Goppion excels in providing purpose-built, freestanding walls, interlocking sections, and interfaces that define and secure exhibition spaces. These walls not only act as backdrops for graphics and artifacts but are meticulously designed to enhance visual appeal. Goppion’s expertise extends to working with various materials and finishes, offering a myriad of possibilities.
2. Platforms, Bases, Tables: Providing Homes for Objects
Beyond security and conservation measures, Goppion understands that objects need a home that complements their size, material, and finish. Each piece undergoes rigorous testing to ensure structural reliability. Environmental considerations are taken into account, with options for incorporating anti-seismic and anti-vibration devices when necessary.
3. Physical and Multimedia Interactives: Technological Integration for Enhanced Experiences
Goppion strikes a delicate balance when integrating new technologies into museums, ensuring they complement rather than overshadow exhibits. The goal is to provide visitors with emotional, intellectual, and physical avenues for exploration and appreciation. Goppion has successfully contributed to the creation of engaging spaces with hands-on, immersive, and multi-sensory interactive experiences.
4. Protective Barriers: Preserving Exhibits Elegantly
Preserving exhibits while offering visitors an immersive experience requires elegant solutions. Goppion achieves this delicate balance, as demonstrated in the no-go zone around the Mona Lisa at the Louvre. The company specializes in crafting protective barriers that seamlessly blend into the exhibition space. Information panels, such as those created for The Last Supper, serve both educational and protective purposes.
5. Object Mounts and Display Cradles: Precision in Presentation
The introduction of mounts into display cases demands meticulous engineering. Goppion ensures that each custom-made support not only displays but also safeguards fragile books, manuscripts, or objects. Considering confined spaces and calibrated micro-climates, Goppion’s approach ensures the preservation of artifacts while maintaining an aesthetic presentation.
6. Benches and Seating: Enhancing the Reflective Experience
Providing visitors with spaces to pause and reflect is integral to the museum experience. Goppion designs interior and exterior seating that is not only sturdy and ergonomic but also crafted from safe materials. Easy maintenance and durability are prioritized to ensure longevity in both indoor and outdoor settings.
7. Retrofitting Existing Cases: Updating Heritage with Modern Precision
Goppion’s expertise extends to retrofitting existing cases, addressing various needs such as replacing worn veneers, upgrading glass fixtures, or implementing invisible technology for airtight cases within old shells. The company’s commitment to seamlessly merging heritage with modern precision is evident in its retrofitting projects.
8. Graphics: Weaving Narratives with Visual Elements
Graphics play a pivotal role in conveying the narrative of an exhibition. Goppion understands that graphics are not merely visual elements but essential components that shape the story being told. The development of graphics involves a meticulous process, ensuring they become an integral and seamless part of the exhibition’s overarching narrative.
In essence, Goppion’s diverse display components go beyond functionality; they are integral contributors to the immersive and enlightening experiences museums aim to provide. Through meticulous craftsmanship and technological integration, Goppion continues to redefine the landscape of museum design, ensuring each element serves a purpose in enhancing the visitor’s journey.
