Wolkenreich
In cooperation with researchers from the University of Stuttgart we have designed a special ceiling installation for use in exhibitions and at trade fairs. ‘Wolkenreich’ consists of suspended folding structures that open when rotated. Thanks to a special folding technique, the umbrellas close automatically when the rotation induced by small electric motors ends. The movements of the individual elements can be coordinated so that different choreographies are possible.
