Crowning the White Gallery - Yanko Design

More like giving it a halo. This post is straight up about a lovely floating sculpture fabricated of untold amounts of woven drinking glass. This Murano glass sculpture lives above Rome's first big lifestyle store designed as a gimmicky art gallery. Yous gonna dearest it! I wish our lifestyle stores were this glorious!

*Untold amounts of glass actually equals lxxx,000 handmade drinking glass knit elements – 6,000 kg of glass, steel, and technological wonder. The full area that this monster covers is sixty m^ii. The lighting is provided past 5000 punctiform halogen lamps, which is ironic(?) because the square meters White Gallery contains likewise comes to a make clean-equally-a-whistle 5,000.

The term "Fluxus" comes from a latin word meaning "to flow" and is also more than popularly known as the title of an international grouping of artists come together in the 1960'due south. Part of their manifesto, about important hither I think, is thus: "PROMOTE A REVOLUTIONARY Overflowing AND TIDE IN Art" — just what White Gallery seems to be trying especially fancifully difficult to do!

The structure is made of mirrored laser cut metal tracks, running along these, fine cross-beams to which the knit elements are anchored. Anchored i-by-one by means of "a technical device created to an original Andromeda design.

This projection is fabricated possible by the combined efforts of designer Karim Rashid, creative person Michela Vianello, Andromeda Murano, and White Gallery.
