ABOUT THIS PROJECT
We are so proud to be part of this project: "Seeing Spheres" for the Golden State Warriors new Chase Center commissioned by CIG Architecture. Seeing spheres, consists of five five-metre-tall directionless polished hydroformed steel spheres that stand in a circle around a central space. Each sphere supports a flat, circular mirror, framed by a ring of LEDs, which is oriented inwards to face the mirrors of the surrounding spheres. Together they produce a surprising environment of multilayered, reflected spaces in which the same people and settings appear again and again, visible from various unexpected angles. Tunnel-like sets of nested reflections open up in the mirrors, repeating countless times and disappearing into the distance (source: olafureliasson.net).

Seeing Spheres
THE DESIGN
"Seeing spheres is a public space that contains you and contains multitudes," comments eliasson. "We often think of public space as empty, negative space in the city, viewed from a car or crossed on the way to somewhere else. Seeing spheres offers a place to pause, where you see yourself from the outside, as a participant in society." (source: designboom.com)
