Focus/18 at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour is the design event for excellence, taking place from September 19-21, during the London Design Festival. This year, a new work by international artist Moritz Waldemeyer has been specially commissioned for the show to enhance visitor experience.Taking inspiration from coronas, the crown-like appearance around the sun during an eclipse, advanced LED technology will light up a kaleidoscope of colorways as visitors move back and forth along a 12-metre walkway. The highly interactive installation invites visitors to choose their favourite colors from the new collections which can be projected as specific auras.“In homage to Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour’s famous architecture and light-filled domes, an innovative concept for Focus/18, will explore the way we look at colour with a mesmerising work of constantly transmuting beauty,” states Design Centre.The installation will celebrate indirect illumination, providing an engaging experience of light, color, and movement.The Design Centre believes that in an increasingly fast-paced world, color informs the aesthetic, both consciously and subconsciously. Particular palettes influence mood, evoke memories or simply reflect what we like and who we are.Visitors are asked to pause, interact, and enjoy this positive space during Focus/18.Claire German, Managing Director of Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, says: “As a nerve centre of many forms of creative expression, we are proud to commission this ground-breaking work of art from Moritz Waldemeyer and present it to the public for the first time at Focus/18.”London-based, Waldemeyer’s studio is driven by playful experimentation, developed through forging links between technology, art, fashion, and design. This approach has resulted in creative collaborations in the past with leading names including U2, Rihanna, Versace, Jamiroquai, Cirque de Soleil, and Philip Treacy.At Focus/18 at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, visitors can get the inside track at talks, demonstrations, workshops, and discovery tours; meet established makers, emerging innovators, and skilled artisans; listen to star names sharing their creative narratives at the ‘Conversations in Design’ series; and connect with influencers and tastemakers from 120 showrooms and 600+ international brands.http://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
