Kaleidoscope

Steel, Aluminium, Polycarbote, Dirochic Film

Modern shopping mall interior with a large, illuminated, blue and purple conical Christmas tree as central decoration, surrounded by benches and potted plants, with escalators and storefronts visible in the background. London, United Kingdom.

Taking inspiration from ice crystals, nature’s geometry, and contemporary architecture, the installation was created to feel as if you were looking through a kaleidoscope into the aurora borealis.

The structure was made of 528 steel rods, angled into cascades of triangles and connected by 174 cast-bronze nodes, which were made through 3D printing and then cast in bronze.

At the top of the tree stood a starburst, comprised of 25 rods of light, taking the total structure to a height of 12 metres. Seen from across the multi-levelled mall space, a beacon atop the tree.

Laid into the interior skin of the tree were LED RGBs in extrusion, arranged in a cone structure that traveled up to the top of the tree and phased through different lighting states, further transporting you to the other-worldly northern lights landscape.

Colorful, illuminated geometric art installation in a shopping mall or public space, with mirrored surfaces and bright lights. London, United Kingdom.
