For the V&A Museum.

The Green Room is a kinetic installation that was designed for a six storey stairwell at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Suspended from the ceiling above, a curtain barrel of multicoloured silicon cords moves slowly in a wave like motion creating an ever changing kaleidoscope of colour.

The origin of the moment is a single cam arm, to which the ends of all 160 cords is attached. When the arm rotates each cord is raised or lowered according to the position through which it is threaded on an outer ring.

The idea for the Green Room was to create a vibrant intervention in and under-utilised part of the museum. Located within an entrance the foyer, the installation encouraged visitors to the upper floors. Each cord consisted of different coloured sections meaning that from any of the many views of the installation the pattern was in constant flux.

Green Room was a landmark installation during the London Design Festival 2016 and was sponsored by Panerai.
