Towering 7m high the inflatable Solivoid swept last years Australia's Interior
Design Awards. The Monash University creation was designed as a
temporary coffee lounge for use at trade exhibitions. It provides a
space for visitors to wait, while they also inadvertently generate
multimedia patterns projected on its surface.
Interior Architecture lecturer Mr Darragh O'Brien said the project was
an experiment that attempted to reconcile the ideal with the real. "It
is a deliberate exercise in vagueness, reflecting the ambiguous nature
of an evolving design process… In response to the contextual
environment, occupants of the lounge will be suspended between inside
and outside; between here and there; between matter and information.” By Brett Lackey
