2000 IKEA Hangers Transformed
2000 IKEA Hangers Transformed - as part of the series on arts by GeoBeats.<br /><br />We all have a fairly fixed visual image of a hanger. Regardless of its material, the basic shape stays largely constant. But what if you took 2000 hangars together - can you transform them collectively into something unusual and unique?<br /><br />That's exactly what a Portuguese design firm 'Like Architects' explored for the 2012 oporto show. Describing themselves as a 'practice focused on the designer of ephemeral architectural objects', they took 2000 IKEA hangars in a variety of a colors and setup an installation called 'Chromatic Screen'. <br /><br />The designers note that - starting from the re-interpretation of a common object of daily use, Chromatic Screen builds a distinct element, spatial organizer, that involves all who visit it into a chromatic experience with different moments of opacity and transparency. The overall experience is highly kinetic and colorful.<br /><br />What are your thoughts on Chromatic screen? What other daily objects can you see being transformed into something wonderful?
