The periodic arrangement of the molecules of crystals and the beautiful structures they form when they orderly come together. This idea implies the definition of one singular component that could be repeated and assembled in multiple ways UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: DICE is a sculptural installation to mark the entrance of the NN store in Shanghai. Dice acts as sculptural installation and, at time, become furniture as well as display areas. The installation reflects light from different angles crating a playful interaction between the customers and the shop and enhance the clients' shopping experience OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Dice marks the entrance to the boutique in a spectacular fashion. Its geometries reflects light capturing the attention of the passer-by.
