The city library in Mittweida is a modern culture and education establishment, centrally located on Technology Square, a significant inner-city location. The once important ballroom and cinema hall is located in a historic building that previously housed the former “Stadt Chemnitz” hotel. The architecturally and historically valuable building was partially renovated due to dilapidation and now shines in new splendor.

The PYTHA multidirectional open-cell ceiling is particularly eye-catching with its seamlessly uniform and aesthetically appealing design. This white, pre-coated ceiling comprises equilateral triangles, offering many decorative combination options. Depending on angle of view and on prevailing lighting conditions, a different ceiling impression can be obtained each time you look at it, extending across a broad range of diverse visual effects. This ceiling is equipped with an integrated carrier, enabling it to create a homogeneous appearance. All of which combines to make reading in this library into a very pleasant experience.
