ALEKSA studio & Solus have collaborated on an array of window installations exclusively for Clerkenwell Design Week 2019. The imaginative creations designed by the emerging London-based architecture & design practice and installed in the Solus Clerkenwell showroom combine innovative tiles from Solus, special fabrications techniques and large format digital printing. ALEKSA Studio director, Aleksa Rizova, said: “Our key ambition was to create eye-catching installations showcasing Solus fabrications techniques and materials and how those can be utilised in an unconventional way to create dynamic wall screens and partitions. We used lots of colour and playful designs to draw people in and encourage them to interact with the installations.”
Taking over the showroom corner on Clerkenwell Road is SUSPENDED COLOUR. The display consists of nearly 600 individual ceramic tiles in 7 different pastel colours from Solus Carnival range. The tiles can spin 360 degrees creating a dynamic colour gradient display.
For the façade facing St John Street ALEKSA studio & Solus launched ILLUSION - a collection of bespoke printed porcelain wall tile designs that feature dynamic parametric patterns. The geometric textures and colour gradients were created by ALEKSA studio using digital design tools and were printed on full size porcelain slabs by Solus. The displays reveal the potential of large format digital printing and the endless variations possible using digital design tools for interior and exterior applications.
