The curved, textured walls as well as muted color palette of the installation created an inviting space, as well as welcome escape from the 'buzz' of the exhibition. Enveloping visitors as well as allowing the featured pieces to convey their ain moment, the installation was designed specifically for this purpose, to isolate both audible as well as visual noise from neighbouring exhibitors. Auckland-based Autex Industries, who specialise inward acoustics as well as insulation products, provided the high-tech stuff used to practise the vertical cylindrical surrounds, as well as the technical expertise to trace it all together.

Atlas Table past times Nathan Goldsworthy
Nathan Goldsworthy presented the Atlas Table for the offset fourth dimension at DENFAIR. Taking its cue from the Vitruvian sketches, the Atlas tabular array finds a likeness betwixt architectural symmetry as well as the body’s ideal proportions. Solid oak blocks are cut, hewn, laminated, machined, as well as polished to practise elemental forms derived from vertebrates. Resembling a spinal column inward repose, these blocks stack, located past times polished spheres, to acquit the weight of the table’s disc-shaped upper surface. Finely machined bearings permit the tabletop’s fluid, zoomorphic movement, remaking the mechanics which conduct the head.
A beautiful as well as innovative design, I honey how the tabular array hand pivots around, alongside storage infinite underneath. The Atlas Table is available inward American Oak as well as Rimu, both featuring an oiled finish.
