"The three-dimensional textile reliefs with an integrated acoustic solution complement the art, architecture, and the interaction within the gallery space."
The design draws inspiration from Nicolai Howalt and his techniques, use of color, and the concept behind 'An Ode to Pareidolia.'
The installation features three-dimensional textile reliefs with an integrated acoustic solution, designed to complement both the artwork and the dynamics of the gallery space.
The wavy, dynamic reliefs reflect Howalt’s abstract interpretations of natural phenomena. They soften the static, white-walled gallery, bringing nature inside: A green relief evokes moss in a landscape, a bright pink one interacts with daylight, and a dark grey velour relief shimmers like a silent vibration. Applied to 40mm acoustic panels, the textile reduces 99% of sound, slowing the pace of the room and encouraging visitors to pause.
The installation invites a bodily engagement, shifting in response to lighting, location, and surrounding art. It introduces calm, gentle movement to the space, encouraging viewers to pause and connect with the environment.
