Design and ceramics renew a shopping center
FMG Fabbrica Marmi and architect Paolo Gianfrancesco, of THG Arkitektar Studio, have designed the restyling of the third floor of Reykjavik's largest shopping center. Ceramic, the central element of the project, covers floors, walls and furniture with versatile solutions and distinctive character.
A number of commissions from the gallery feature in the show, experiments by Mike Lamb with laser, stainless steel and sheets of metal to create sculptural tables; a long drawer unit by the French Studio Glithero that borrows techniques used to make scaffolding; luminous mirrors by Marcus Tremonto that along with his wife Monica designs limited editions that create interesting and decorative optical illusions reflecting space; a lamp by Paul Cocksedge covered with black rubber and styrene and a coloured bench in anodised aluminium by Paul Kelley.
