PILLS

Based in Beijing, PILLS crafts art exhibition spaces and gallery pavilions characterized by boundary-dissolving reflective surfaces, suspended industrial armatures, and atmospheric, translucent layering. This body of work serves as a strong reference when designing immersive gallery enclosures that utilize mirrored planes, mist, and custom overhead rigs to blur spatial perimeters.

Geometry
Modular multi-sided plywood units configured in radial or freestanding layouts, functioning as both transport crates and illuminated display niches.
Structural guess
Self-supporting hinged plywood box structures on casters.
Spatial scale
Human scale; units stand roughly head-height with workers and visitors interacting closely.
Lighting
Warm, integrated LED strip lighting concealed within the recessed display cavities, contrasting with ambient exhibition hall illumination.
Atmosphere
Warm and workshop-like, blending raw material utility with gallery polish.
Environmental context
Large open industrial exhibition hall with exposed brick and concrete floor.
Spatial experience
Moving between units creates a maze-like exhibition journey with framed artwork niches opening up at human eye level.
Composition rhythm
Repeating vertical plywood panels and hinged door seams punctuated by illuminated niches.
