Fantastic Norway’s Carboard Cloud
June 23rd, 2009 | Blog
Check out the expansive, pixellated cardboard cloud that Fantastic Norway designed for the Centre for Design and Architecture student exhibition in Oslo, Norway. We love its simplicity, its massiveness and the reference to unpacking.
From Fantastic Norway:
Being that the exhibition is set to present brand new design objects, we decided to base the architectural concept on the thrill of unpacking. The installation consists of over 3000 hanging cardboard boxes resembling a large pixilated cloud, hovering over the exhibited material. The construction creates a large variety of spaces, from cave like to lifted and open areas, inside the 350m2 exhibition hall. The objects and design concepts are exhibited both inside and outside the boxes.In an environmental perspective the ambition was to create an exhibition with focus on reuse and low material cost. The cardboard boxes will be recycled at the end of the exhibition, which only leaves wires as leftovers.

This piece of wood is from Hells Gate on Hagerman Pass, Colorado. I found it on a climbing trip. I was so inspired by the patina from the sun that I brought the piece down with me. I decided to use it in a simple sculpture.
