This complex installation called upon 618 Design’s capacity to handle fabrication and construction details that can otherwise derail a large project. Overlapping non-concentric circular motifs pushed our parametric design skills to the max. Integration of irregular steel structure, wooden cladding, lighting, and audio components required clever approaches to creating clearance for hardware and tool access. The piece also allowed us to showcase our lighting expertise.
This meaningful and high-profile project required detailed foresight, as well as the ability to solve problems on the fly. 618 Design is proud to be one of the go-to design and fabrication shops for Cooke John Studio.
