UNStudio installation
Its position is directly behind the entrance of the shop, at a prominent spot in the atrium where many period details of the shop’s previous incarnation as a cinema are preserved. The installation consists of a hollow and accessible cone made from coated aluminum. The installation responds to this situation in both shape and materialization. The funnel-shaped opening at the top of the aluminum cone follows the outlines of an original monumental circular chandelier. Both installation and chandelier are carefully positioned at the center of a circular plateau that is semi-enclosed by two sweeping staircases that meet at the top and are framed by curved walls.
