spatial envelopes
Reflecting the ideology of Kazimir Malevich, Monoloko then combined the space’s monochrome colour scheme with the fundamental principles of Suprematism, an abstract art movement dedicated to pure artistic feeling and basic geometric forms. The idea was to create an imaginative open space where light sources and colour will alter visual perceptions of the bar ’s three-dimensional geometric furnishings, defined as Suprematist in composition and mono-material in implementation. A Celestial Sphere Layered over the space’s bright blue hue, Monoloko endeavored to create a heavenly atmosphere resembling a limitless universe through the creation of a spatial light installation, consisting of flexible neon light enveloped in a polyurethane shell. The resulting effect is the perception of a non-objective free space, where patrons can take a step back from their traditional views of time and substance.
