Cologne 2009

It has been quite a while since installations became an accepted part of the art and design world. The Bourroulec brothers have made this point first with North Tiles , the acclaimed installation they made for KVADRAT, now accepted at the MOMA.   This time around, TILES have evolved into CLOUDS, a new concept developed also with Kvadrat, for Ligne Roset.  This installation is done in bi-color pieces of Divina, the boiled wool felt we all love,  and another Kvadrat material. The prism-like pieces can be attached with provided rubber bands to create a three dimensional wall piece with the “artist” print.  (The artist will be you, me, or whomever you choose to do this for you.) The entire piece is then attached to a few points on the wall. It can also be hung from the ceiling, in which case you get a few metal rods.

When you buy Clouds you receive a  box of 8 pieces to which you can keep adding pieces and colors as you choose.  Like a puzzle, it’s fun to install and it looks amazing, not to mention that you can change it any time.
