studioMDA

Based in New York, studioMDA designs art galleries and exhibition spaces defined by sharp volumetric shifts and deliberate visual tension, pairing pristine display surfaces with raw overhead elements, glowing translucent volumes, and saturated monochromatic enclosures. This portfolio provides a strong reference when calibrating high-contrast gallery interiors, detailing museum-grade display planes beneath exposed overhead infrastructure, or developing bold spatial focal points for art fair environments.

Exhibition interior by studioMDA with high-gloss colorful graphic wall panels and a sculptural glass cylinder installation.

EXHIBITIONS — studioMDA

An exhibition interior design precedent by studioMDA showing how high-gloss graphic wall treatments and a luminous grid ceiling transform a double-height gallery into an immersive spatial sequence.

What we like about this project
The central cluster of translucent colored glass tubes echoes the vertical stripe rhythms of the background wall.

Geometry
Tall, white-walled gallery space featuring double-height vertical planes wrapped in high-gloss graphic vinyls, creating a clear axial view through a doorway into a secondary gallery room.
Structural guess
Steel frame with non-loadbearing gallery partition walls
Spatial scale
Double-height volume with walls extending upwards past four meters, giving an expansive institutional proportion.
Lighting
Evenly diffused overhead illumination from a large gridded luminous ceiling panel system, minimizing harsh shadows.
Atmosphere
Bright, high-energy, and crisp, driven by saturated primary colors and reflective surfaces.
Environmental context
Interior contemporary art gallery or museum space with polished dark floors reflecting the wall colors.
Spatial experience
The large vertical graphics scale up the gallery envelope, guiding the visitor's gaze inward while framing a sequence of interconnected exhibition rooms.
Composition rhythm
Vertical stripes and dot sequences create a rhythmic, musical cadence across the opposing gallery walls.
