It is realized with colored rubber and cnc fabricated wooden rails. Instant Installation has the capacity to reconfigure in accord with the different locations and sites. Instant installation enables a playful engagement with the visitor and the space. Visitors are absorbed by the installation geometry and layer of materiality.
Instant Installation it is quick to install. The installation is realized with an parametric techniques and a computer numeric control manufacturing process permitting to quickly produce prefabricated customized rails. Instant Installation is a customizable product that can be easily carried in a bag. Each user can select a nesting technique of the wires and can therefore define its own level of transparency, enclosure and privacy. Instant Installation explore the idea of physical enclosure and the relations the social interaction it can implies. Instant Installation challenges the boundary between a product and architecture. It is a product having the capacity to generate, articulate and transform spaces.
