Nädalajagu öid muuseumis, sai kõik kenasti mõnusaks-hämaraks keeratud. Harjuge nüüd ära, et igal pool parkett ei sära!

Osalesime koos WhiteNight lighting põhjanaabritega Tallinna linnamüüri valgustuse ideekonkursil. Võidupärga kaela ei pandud, aga tööprotsess kinkis meile palju tarkust nii disaini kui rahvusvahelise meeskonnatöö vallas. Siin ka teile vaatamiseks kahe kuu jooksul valminud ja vormistatud mõtted, kuidas meie kalli vanalinna monumentaalbarjääri uhkeks valgustada võiks.
