设计师的描述
我们为梅利莎的纽约商店创造的晶体结构是由他们的冬季2015集，明星沃克的启发。晶体既是高度精细的结构，又是原始的。它们到处都可以找到，但绝不是普通的。就像梅利莎的天空沃克收藏鞋，晶体结构的有序不对称总是启发美。
用软实验室结晶
Design studio SOFTlab, have created “Crystalized,” a sculpture that hangs in a New York City shoe boutique.
The designer’s description
The crystalline structure we have created for Melissa’s NYC store is inspired by their Winter 2015 collection, Star Walker. Crystals are both highly refined structures and yet primitive. They can be found everywhere, but are anything but ordinary. Much like the shoes in Melissa’s Sky Walker collection, the ordered asymmetry of crystalline structures always inspires beauty.
Inspired by both the shoes and crystals, we have produced an immersive installation that looks different from every angle. We have taken advantage of the irregularities in the overall form of the installation to turn Melissa’s NYC store into a kaleidoscope of color and light.
By cladding the complex aluminum structure with dichroic acrylic, the piece changes color and reflectivity as visitors move around it. By lighting the pieces from within the large crystalline structures will cast colored light onto the white store using it as a canvas.
The installation acts as both a spectacular form and a giant lantern creating a landscape of color, filling the store with an otherworldly atmosphere.
The structure is lightweight compared to its large volume. Using the principles of both crystal growth and soap bubbles the piece appears to have grown in the store.
Overall the structure is made of over 50 unique cells and over 400 pieces of custom cut aluminum. Although the pieces are all flat they come together to form a complex three dimensional assembly. All of the parts were labeled and the individual cells were pre-assembled off site and then combined in the store.
The dichroic acrylic was used in tandem with this cell like structure to take advantage of the variation in panel angles. The dichroic film causes interference in light depending on the angle of view creating planes in a range of color much like light passing through a crystal.
