Story
A briefing in Tivoli
The briefing for Cirque took place in Tivoli. The pendant is a play between colours and forms inspired by balloons, carousels, colours and light. The idea for the colour sequence comes from the experience of colours in circular motion, where they are often perceived as continuous lines.
Onion domes and hot-air balloons
The shape is inspired by the well-known onion-shaped domes on several of the buildings in the Tivoli garden. Clara von Zweigbergk says that when the pendant is unlit, you can gaze up into it and imagine being beneath a hot-air balloon.
