The concept and design of SHAPES is done by M+R interior architecture. We used the lotus and the chameleon as design inspiration; the Lotus flower as a metaphor that stands for purity and beauty and the chameleon’s with it’s ability to adapt and diversity. The Lotus flower is shaped like three sculptural elements composed of decor sheet, these objects slowly turning around. The color space is divided into so-called “slides”, each slide representing a color of the overall spectrum with different material applications and solutions. The design of the joinery is done in a straight line, and situated perpendicular to the wall presentations.
