The design for the facade for a brand jewelry store consists ofjewels piled up along the 40m height of the building. With thebiggest jewel 2m x 2m in size, real diamonds could not be used.Instead we traced the pattern of the jewels' light onto aluminumsheets, punched out the pattern, and folded the sheets into 3-dimensional jewel panels.
The panels are installed on top of astainless mirror surface which reflects both sunlight and the inside surface of the panels, adding visual depth to the surface.
Light from LEDs shines out from behind the panels, giving a senseof transparency to the otherwise solid material.
At the same time, the light can make the jewels softly flickering as if they are quietly breathing.
The facade shines like platinum in the daylight and glitters like a living diamond by night.
The concept was unfortunately not built, but
stays with us as a "prototype" and continues to influence our work.
