Program

Installation showcases innovative interpretation of the creation of the Universe. Listen to the sound of Earth’s rotation, captured by NASA.

The atmospheric immersive installation will turn Sky-Frame’s claim “A view, not a window” into an experience where guests encounter something unexpectedand totally removed from the hustle and bustle of the annual week-long festival.

When entering the hexagonal funnel, a gigantic sphere opens in front of guests. It is created by an illuminated translucent surface at the end of the funnel that is mirrored. The sphere glows in a bright colour, which has the ability to be changed by pushing a control integrated into the floor.

The second experience of ‘A Piece of Sky’ is offered by a point of light that disappears and reappears in the dark area behind the mirror funnel, Hürlemann calls it the 'Singularity.’

“We are looking forward to offering visitors the opportunity to take a break from their busy itinerary at the Milan Design Week,leave the earthly world for a few minutes to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.” Andrea Zürcher, Marketing Director, Sky-Frame.

The installation will be located in Ventura Centrale, Via Ferrante Aporti 17, during Milan Design Week (9-14 April 2019).
