Kriskadecor WESTQUAY WATERMARK Aluminium chain curtain

Australian designer Michelle Taylor (MTRDC) has developed a striking space in the lobby of Southampton’s Westquay Watermark shopping centre, establishing a connection between the waterfront that once bathed its current location.‎ In doing so, Taylor pays homage to this historic line of the city.‎ This theme is translated within the Westquay by suspending dramatic layers of overlapping waves from the ceiling created with Kriskadecor material to evoke the feeling of water.‎ These small, anodised aluminium links are perfect as they allow you to create designs with layered elements to provide colour, texture and movement to the project.‎ As visitors move through the lobby, they discover transparent veils that reinforce the smooth-flowing architectural forms that dissipate to mimic the exterior paving design.‎ Kriskadecor’s material allows sensations to be recreated along the ceiling, elegantly emphasizing these volumes.‎ For this installation, more than 800 square meters of chains were used in 4 different colours: gold, green, lime and black.‎ The idea was to recreate the effect of the natural contours of rippling pools of water.‎ In addition, the rails were custom curved to create this fluid and harmonious structure.‎ Further info from manufacturer on WESTQUAY WATERMARK Kriskadecor
