Baumann’s Beautiful Tube
The new Modern Museum of Wroclaw is a six floor venue dedicated to all things art! The building, which is located in Strzegomski Square, was once used as a raid shelter from the Second World War, but will now temporarily display modern art until it’s new building is finished nearby. Lang Baumann, a Swiss based design firm, used wood, carpet and lacquer to create this colorful tube hallway. The hallway functions for walking, sitting, and resting. The team created layers of heightened steps for people to sit on and tables extruding from the walls for guests to eat on. The “Beautiful Tube” is designed with the marriage of colors, shapes and materials, and is meant to be an playful and energetic place!

LANG BAUMANN CREATE BEAUTIFUL STAIRS
Lang Baumann is a Switzerland based architectural firm who experiments with everyday things like walls, floors, tubes, and corners, and through design, twists the common conception to allow people to view it in a whole new way. Their most impressive subject has been stairs. Today, the firm has had six successful stair twisting projects located throughout the world. The stairs are usually twisting in some form, white, and made of only wood and paint. A commonality between each project is that Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann (The founders and creative directors) choose to leave out the railing, giving each stair an element of fantasy and suspense.
