Mine Harbour

The Mine Harbour Museum in Tallinn features a suspended lighting installation inspired by historic naval sea mines, adding a playful yet context-driven element to the exhibition space.

The installation consists of rotomolded polyethylene spheres in three sizes, each housing an internal light source. External angled light elements, resembling detonators, direct illumination toward stairways and exhibition areas, reinforcing the sea-mine motif.

A central suspension cable ensures structural stability, while spacer-mounted external housings allow ventilation and protect the polyethylene body from heat buildup.
