This year Corian collaborated with architect Jean Nouvel for Nouvel Lumières, a "multi-sensorial interior environment that, through six domestic themes (kitchen, dining room, library, living room, bathroom and bedroom) creatively and elegantly explores the interactions of Corian® with light.". Of note; Nouvel's use of touch-control plaques situated around the space, "allowing the control of every electronic function of the environment. The devices - dimmers, controls of time-delay, 'scenarios', day and night, hot-to-cold and chromo-therapy - all feature simple, intuitive designs, and are illuminated with coloured LEDs, making them easy and pleasurable to use.".
Dining room with light controlled wall projection behind.
Translucent backlit shelf close up.
Kitchen with backlit storage.
Bedroom.
How is the bed (i guess the base is corian) supported (Corian has to be supported every 300mm) ?
the kitchen is confusing, whats the inspiration?
I think the cupboards look like an airport Xray readout, it's quite an interesting idea... though maybe a little lost in this application
are the corian beds available for sale?
