Asylum’s Big Bang

Thousands of ‘black gems’ fly through the air in this pop-up store for Hublot.

September 25th, 2012

A gem of an explosion took place recently at Paragon Shopping Centre in Singapore in the form of Hublot’s first ever pop-up store.

Asylum

Conceived by Asylum, the installation took inspiration from Hublot’s premium Big Bang timepiece series, which is known for its ultra-light design, advanced features, and fusion of styles and precious materials.

Asylum

The black gems were made of cardboard and visitors were invited to guess how many pieces made up the installation which hung suspended across two floors.

Asylum

The competition has ended and the word is out! Asylum tells us that a total of 36,000 ‘gems’ were used.

Asylum

Catch another Asylum installation at Dream Interiors on 6 October as part of the Saturday in Design Singapore ‘project’!

The Review, part two: ‘Truth and Lies in Architecture’ by Richard Francis-Jones

Timothy Alouani-Roby met with Richard Francis-Jones of fjcstudio (previously fjmtstudio) to discuss his timely, provocative and, quite frankly, necessary book on architecture. In this second part of the book review, we turn to the question of what architects can do in the face of crises from climate breakdown to alienation of place.
