Production Technology

Double cooper plates, cylinder frame

Design Challenge

How to give the fixed installation a movement that resembles the endless waves of the sea was the biggest challenge. In the end the cylinder form with hanging cooper plates was the best sollution.

Project Duration

4 months, located in Dalian

Operation Flow

The cylinder formed by cooper plates creates a dynamic movement of the waves of the sea.

Research

As the residential project is built along the shore of Dalian Bay of China, the first thing capture our eyes is the specific feature of the project: the SEA. This inspires us to design an installation at the entrance using the language of the sea:waves, in order to echo the sea. As a matter as fact we further applied this language to the whole space of the demonstrate center, including: the logo, lamps and signage, making the space visually a whole.
