Anemone

Hospitality
Prototyped Research System

Overview

Anemone is a suspended light structure developed as part of our ongoing research into flexible modular construction systems.

The proposal explores organic vertical geometries generated through a lightweight textile framework assembled using industrial zipper connections. Conceived for large-scale hospitality interiors, the structure combines softness and structural clarity within a scalable luminous volume.

Although unbuilt, the system was fully developed at constructive level.

Research Focus

The project investigates the potential of zipper-based assembly as a structural strategy.

Rather than functioning as a simple fastening mechanism, the zipper becomes a continuous linear joint — enabling curvature, modular expansion, rapid assembly, and disassembly.

This approach allows complex volumetric forms to emerge from flat textile components, reducing transport volume and increasing adaptability to architectural constraints.

Constructive Logic

• Textile structural membranes

• Continuous zipper-based modular joints

• Internal lightweight frame

• Integrated LED core system

The system enables:

• Scalable height and diameter

• Modular repetition

• Controlled translucency

• Rapid on-site installation

Spatial Intention

Designed for double-height lobbies and large hospitality interiors, Anemone operates as a vertical luminous organism — soft in surface, precise in structure.

Its organic silhouette contrasts with rigid architectural frameworks, introducing fluidity without compromising spatial clarity.

The piece proposes a new typology: a textile-based architectural chandelier system scalable to monumental dimensions.

Status

Conceptual installation supported by full-scale prototyping. Available for architectural development and commission.
