colette this Christmas has commissioned Pernilla & Asif to create a unique miniature version of their Cloud installation previously exhibited at Design Miami / Basel, for the Designers of the Future 2011 Award and later on a giant scale at the boxing venue, York Hall in east London in November 2011.
During the darkest three weeks of the year, every minute one hundred baby clouds will be released within two specially designed vitrines, each combining a cocktail of water, soap and helium gas.
Like colette, always going against the grain and the expected, the flurry of micro-clouds will be like an upside-down snowfall.
'I first discovered the work of Pernilla & Asif with the so poetic Harvest chair, then I saw the foam clouds they did for DesignMiami, and the very recent sand/ice installation in Singapore. I'm so proud they agreed to do our Christmas Windows with their magical clouds. It will certainly remain one of the most impressive windows in our history and we hope Colette will not fly in the air like a balloon with all the helium we'll keep!' - Sarah (Colette)
The special window installation at colette runs from Dec 12-31, 2011. Download a video of the installation here - http://wtrns.fr/ioZZjCOqp590Tn
PERNILLA & ASIF are currently working on a pavilion commissioned by Coca Cola for the Olympics in London 2012
