Sprengel Museum Hanover: Design meets technology – OBO solutions in action

Sprengel Museum in Hanover is one of the most significant museums for modern, contemporary art in Germany. Originating from a private endowment, today it unites the central collections of the 20th and 21st centuries, growing continuously through purchases and loans. The museum houses not only a permanent collection, but rotating special exhibitions.

In terms of architecture, the museum features an open style with clear lines. With its striking room structures and characteristic “dancing” arrangement of the exhibition rooms, the extension building from the year 2015 sets new benchmarks. Generous connecting areas such as the Calder-Saal, as well as functional areas, provide even more opportunities to present exhibits and collections to the highest standards.

OBO cassette solutions – concealed technology for maximum design freedom

Where architecture and art call for the highest standards in terms of aesthetics, the electrical infrastructure must also deliver – blending in while remaining flexible. This is where the OBO  Kassettenlösungen für fugenlose Böden  come into play.

With specially developed Terrazzo-Schalkörpern OBO enables direct, jointless installation of height-adjustable cassettes in polished screed and Terrazzo floors. The result: The power supply is integrated virtually invisibly, blending in seamlessly with the sophisticated room concepts while offering maximum flexibility for changing usage scenarios.

The elaborate design ensures that the casing fits exactly on the underfloor boxes, sealing the transitions neatly. During the construction phase, a robust protective cover acts as a dummy and can be polished over with the floor. This produces a high-quality, continuous surface without compromising function or design.

OBO combines technical precision with architectural standards, creating solutions that appear invisible but make all the difference in the final result.
