Installed Products
Walk on Clouds
Have you ever imagined what it would be like to hover on clouds; to step onto the delicate white pillow and let yourself be carried away into a fairy-tale land? In the high-rise at 131 South Dearborn St., LASVIT worked in collaboration with Gensler Architects to make part of this fantasy real.
Walking to work to this skyscraper right in the heart of Chicago’s Loop district will now be an exhilarating experience. Instead of walking into an almost thirty-year-old lobby, the employees will get their head in the clouds.
Dimensions
4 200 kilograms of material hang above the heads of the tower’s visitors and employees. It is the weight of one whole elephant hanging from the ceiling.
Components
There are a total 925 shining glass bubbles made of crystal glass, and each bubble has its own light source.
Development and Installation
The project had to adjust to the client’s needs and to meet the plenum-rated ceiling codes. LASVIT came with a smart, simple solution.
