Design firm llLab., has shared photos of a sculptural bamboo installation they recently completed as part of the Element pop-up store at HKRI Taikoo Hui in Shanghai, China.
Aligned with Element’s sustainable branding philosophy, this project embraces bamboo to explore a spatial practice that tests the practicality and sustainability of materials.
The Element Bloom pop-up retail and TURN TURN exhibition installation are interconnected, forming an ethereal landscape of flowing bamboo.
The installation was constructed in the natural setting of Yangshuo, Guilin, using native bamboo materials and traditional craftsmanship to weave nature into the design.
The landscape of flowing bamboo, merely 3mm in thickness, embodies the essence of bamboo itself – resilient, flexible, and gently swaying upon impact.
Some of the sculpture is also functional, providing displays for various products.
Here’s a look at the design drawings for the project.
