Journey of Colour
Artist Moritz Waldemeyer’s interactive installation for the Design Hub at Focus/18 brings the newest collections to life in a surprising and engaging way. Called Journey of Colour, the 12-metre-long walkway consists of a series of digitally fabricated octagonal coronas – inspired by the shape of the Design Centre’s domes – mounted on the wall. Hold a fabric or wallpaper swatch under a special camera and the hidden LED lighting undulates and changes colour to reflect whatever the camera sees.
Waldemeyer’s work explores colour and light in highly original ways, from the animated, colour-changing headpiece he created for Jay Kay of Jamiroquai to stage outfits for Rihanna. A favourite with boundary-pushing fashion designers, he has also collaborated with Versace, Hussein Chalayan and Philip Treacy. More than just an exciting and engaging space to spend time at Focus/18, Journey of Colour encapsulates the spirit of playful experimentation that has come to the fore in design and decoration.
