In the center of Warsaw, the texture of the city is rich and three-dimensional. The Objekt Gallery is like lines of poetry leaping out from the memories of the old city. Between steel and stone, light and shadow, it narrates the tacit understanding between a city and art. It is not only a place to showcase design works, but also a container that carries perception and dialogue. Through structure and materials, it constructs another language belonging to the city.

The studio Hyz Projektuje began to conceive and design from a theme about "Strolling through the neighborhood". Surrounding the Objekt Gallery are the multiple textures of Warsaw's urban architecture: images of pre-war mansions, modernist facades and fragments of brick and stone - they form an obvious background and also serve as the design inspiration for the space.

The tall exhibition hall space is divided into two distinct areas: the flexible and open main display area and the private mezzanine communication area. This zoning form not only responds to the gallery's dual mission of "exhibition" and "dialogue", but also creates different levels of exhibition experiences through the rhythm of the venue. The red color of the floor was not deliberately chosen but rather a story "discovered" in the old floor during the renovation. A solitary and bright tile stands out among the removed fragments of old materials, infusing the entire space with the metaphor of "desire" and "thematic". This also responds to the essence of collecting: highlighting its uniqueness among all things.

The texture of the hand-rubbed plaster reveals the warmth of craftsmanship and the flow of time. An arched glass Mosaic wall not only serves as the visual focal point but also symbolizes the existence of a "gateway", like a passage guiding visitors through history and the present, activating their acute perception of form and light, and establishing a visual response between the exhibits and the environment. On the other side, the steel wall sets the tone for the display area, highlighting the warmth and uniqueness of the exhibits with its cold and stern material. It has a composed and steady temperament, like the curtain of a theater or the background color of a museum, reflecting the sculptural quality of the exhibits. Design exits here, leaving the initiative to art itself.

Sunlight penetrates the glass, creating a soft diffused atmosphere and projecting the scale of time on the material surface. The indoor lighting mainly uses indirect illumination, guiding the line of sight and expressing emotions through track light and point light sources. The interior furniture features neutral tones and contemporary vocabulary. It neither steals the show nor serves as a backdrop. Instead, it blends into the space in a low-key manner, forming a part of the "aesthetics of life".

Step up the light staircase into the mezzanine, which is a space for meditation, privacy and contemplation. Hyz Projektuje has created a quiet place for interpersonal communication with minimalist strokes, responding to the social attribute of the gallery as a cultural convergence point.
