A magical moment
There is no water, no electricity, and if you come out there it was minus 15 degrees. Itu2019s so beautiful and out there you see the snow landscape that is very gentle. When you look at it then it looks white at the first glance. But when you look at it closer youu2019ll discover the entire spectrum of the rainbow. Depending on the intensity, angle or even the filtration of light by clouds, snow or temperature of air.
Itu2019s a very peaceful experience, both visually but also from an acoustic point of view everything is dampened and well balanced. I wanted to somehow get this feeling from the snow landscape and this piece came from there. If you look closer at a snowflake or snow landscape, then you will see that every snowflake has a hexagonal structure and all snowflakes are based on the same mathematical rules. They all have these 120 or 60 degrees angles but youu2019ll never find two snowflakes that are equal.u00a0
Creating a natural form
In the computer we today have an extremely powerful design tool. However, the classic analog methods like folding paper or drawing a line with a pencil is something you will never let be. Itu2019s simply very powerful methods and quite nice to work with as well. Although this first draft was slightly more complex in appearance, the hexagon shape and symmetry of the final product was apparent from the start.
This flexible system can be rearranged to form new patterns or tiles can be added to boost sound performance or acoustic dampening properties. Users can also change the colours of the fabric covers, which currently come in ten different colour options, including four Kvadrat textured fabrics. The cool thing is that you can always change the colours later on by simply swapping the front to other colours without needing to disassemble the entire structure.
