On show at Interieur 2012 in Kortrijk, Belgium, last month, Ross Lovegrove's undulating installation for Lasvit uses crystal panels to make visitors feel as though they are encased in a kaleidoscope.
Inspired by the fluid surfaces found in nature, Lovegrove challenged the Czech glass brand's engineers to realise a structure made up of textured panels which seem to shimmer as guests walk by them.
"There is a magic in glass in the way light and transparency are captured in the fusing process," Lovegrove said of the installation; "One moment liquid, the next solid, [it's] something that can be harnessed and predicted in the field between design, physics and technology."
