Innovative Transformation of Reading Spaces: The National Library in a New Light.

The National Library is ushering in new chapters of modernized reading rooms. The concept by Konior Studio has transformed reading spaces, imbuing them with individual characters and natural materials, creating an environment conducive to comfortable and inspiring reading.

Modern Lighting Concept

Konior Studio revolutionizes the space of the Library by introducing an energy-efficient lighting system, setting new standards for sustainable visual aesthetics.

Our solutions encompass diverse zones, aiming to create lighting perfectly tailored to each area, ensuring both the highest quality of light and optimal efficiency.

In the context of artificial lighting for spacious rooms with natural light coming in from the ceiling, we have opted for a linear structure. Its harmony with the ceiling's window pattern allows for abundant natural light to enter the interior. The linear structure is characterized by delicate lighting profiles, discreetly masking the modular ceiling while maintaining its geometric integrity.

Table Lamp with Dimmer - Exceptional Functionality, Unrivaled Style.

A unique table lamp with a built-in dimmer, allowing for light intensity adjustment ranging from 0 to 100%, is not only an aesthetic element but also a practical solution perfectly tailored to individual user preferences.

Thanks to efficient LED light sources, our innovative approach not only meets expectations but also aligns perfectly with the idea of sustainable development. Our unique solutions not only surpass efficiency standards but also harmoniously combine light quality with efficiency, creating optimal conditions for any space.

New Interiors, New Era: Reading Rooms of the National Library in the Spotlight of an Award.

The modernization project of the Reading Rooms of the National Library, designed by Konior Studio, has been awarded in the category of "Design - Interiors: Public Facilities" at the 4 Design Days.

The new spaces, reflecting the modernist character of the building, have been endowed with unique hierarchy and functionality, blending natural materials with modern design.

Dr. Tomasz Makowski, the Director of the National Library, along with Konior Studio, received the award, and the entire project was realized with the support of the European Union.
