OR is the boldest installation at the Milan International Furniture Fair 2008, a vortex-shaped surface that reacts to sunlight. The polygonal segments of the surface react to ultra-violet light, mapping the position and intensity of solar rays.
In the shade, the segments of OR are translucent white but become coloured when hit by sunlight, flooding the space below with different hues of light.At night, OR transforms into an enormous 'chandelier', disseminating light into the surrounding courtyard, an atmospheric space for events and gatherings.
The hues generated by the photoreactive surface are therefore indicators of changes in weather and daylight, a dynamic architectural tool that can be used on building exteriors.
OR is skin, OR is shining, OR is the light, OR the shade.The beauty of OR is its constant interaction with the elements, each moment of the day is unique.
The project was developed by the architects and designers Ran Ankori, Francesco Brenta, Maya Carni, Christoph Klemmt, Laura Micalizzi and Elisa Oddone.
