The 'Cumulus' installation has been designed by the Clap Studio as a light, ethereal structure that will provide visitors with a pillowy place to relax and unwind that's wondrously whimsical. The structure is achieved with a series of steel beams that have had an elastic fabric tied tightly around the interior space to help give it a bouncy feel. A series of hanging lights inside help to cast a shadow of those within and create a visual spectacle for onlookers to enjoy.
The 'Cumulus' installation was explained by the designers who said, "Inside the cloud, the body seems to gravitate with a feeling of lightness, it is the place where calm reigns. Through the fabric, you get to see only the shadows of what is outside and the sounds aren’t clear enough to perceive their origin."
