Fornarina London, designed by Giorgio Borruso (2006)

“The space is icy and blue – almost as if you’re traveling through a frozen cavern in the Antarctic. A molded, liquid-like material covers the entire space, flowing across the ceiling and down to the dressing rooms, creating protruding ice blocks for seats and product pedestals. Giorgio went for the effect of clouds billowing against a blue sky. “I love London—but not its gray weather,” the architect says. “This luminous membrane makes customers forget for a moment that it’s raining outside.” Borruso achieved that effect by covering portions of the ceilings and walls in the two-level space with 1,000 biomorphic pieces of molded polycarbonate and backlighting them with color-changing LEDs that shift from blue to white. Thanks to metal strips, the pieces are attached magnetically, allowing them to be rearranged at any time.”
