Modular ceiling grid system

A gallery ceiling system with integrated power and mounting rails on a regular grid (typically 600mm or 900mm). Fixtures can be repositioned anywhere on the grid without tools or rewiring, allowing complete reconfiguration for each exhibition. Works equally well for wall wash and accent approaches.

Medium Premium
Approach Detail

Install concealed grid of electrified rails on ceiling at 600-900mm spacing in both directions. Use magnetic or twist-lock fixtures that attach anywhere on grid. All positions provide power and dimming control via wireless or addressable wired protocol. Fixture inventory includes wall washers, spotlights with various beam angles (15°, 24°, 36°, 60°), and framing projectors. Curators or technicians can reconfigure entirely in hours rather than days. Grid pattern aligns with architectural module if present.

Key Fixtures

Integrated ceiling grid system (ERCO Lightcast, Zumtobel Tecton, or similar), compatible fixture family spanning wall wash to tight accent, wireless dimming control.

Designer Notes

Render showing the same gallery with completely different fixture configurations for two exhibitions. Show a technician repositioning a fixture easily. Include a ceiling plan showing the grid with two different fixture layouts overlaid to demonstrate flexibility.

Best For
Contemporary art spaces with frequent changeovers, artist-driven installations requiring non-standard approaches, kunsthalles and non-collecting institutions.
