For the new showroom for the bathroom furniture company Talsee, the Swiss architecture firm Burkard Meyer required an innovative installation of chains hanging from the ceiling. Following the architect’s creative brief, KriskaDECOR created a new modular system for the project.

The client reception area has been installed in the central area.

The varying lengths of the chains (the longest measures 7.80 meters) form a ‘rain passage’ that separates the different functions of the showroom, creating a ‘room’ inside another one. The lighting creates a surreal and magical ambiance.

This project is exemplary of KriskaDECOR’s essence; besides a custom made specific design for the project, the company did also develop an installation system to suit the space.

All these processes, from the development of the product to the manufacturing methods have been conceived in-house.
