Turkish designer Melek Zeynep Bulut has created the Duo installation which is a suspended structure showcased at this year's London Design Festival. It is on display between September 14th to September 22nd at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. The installation is comprised of suspended components that fuse together into a rectangular form that opens up into an archway through.
Bulut explains, "Essentially, Duo is a portal, and all my works are portals, offering spaces for dimensional transition and equilibrium." She continues, "Imagine it like our body—fundamentally not a solid mass, but a sensor. It perceives and responds to stimuli by producing sounds and has sensory receptors that allow us to feel textures, heat, and cold. Similarly, Duo conceptually treats space as a mechanical body."
