the jeddah islamic arts biennale, held at the western hajj terminal of king abdulaziz international airport, marked a major cultural milestone celebrating the heritage and diversity of islamic art. Featuring over 280 historical artifacts and 60 contemporary works, the exhibition explored themes of ritual, migration, and belonging, demanding a lighting scheme capable of balancing aesthetic nuance with technical precision in a large, complex space
ideolux provided high-performance lighting solutions that enhanced the visibility and detail of each exhibit while maintaining the curatorial intent and overall ambiance. The design ensured uniform light quality, minimized glare, and subtly guided visitors through the immersive narrative of the biennale
the project received international recognition, earning a place at the darc awards and widespread praise from design professionals for its exceptional integration of lighting and storytelling. This achievement underscores ideolux’s capability to deliver museum-grade lighting solutions that elevate both the artistic experience and cultural impact of large-scale exhibitions
