LIGHT ♥ FRANKFURT

< Back

LIGHT LOVES FRANKFURT is a play upon the jovial expression of love declared in the classic
"I ♥ NY" logo. The stylized heart is rendered by criss-crossing blood red laser beams, that symbolise the passion, love and strong emotion that lighting can inspire.

As designers we love the medium of light, and Frankfurt is a city that encourages and embraces good lighting, so we believe that if possible, light would return the same sentiment.

The installation itself consists of laser beams emerging from a central source as from an explosion, with its inner core taking up the shape of a heart. Some of the beams break out and are emitted into the depth of the tunnel, adding a third dimension to the installation. Haze is created and used to make the laser beams visible, yet make them appear mystical.

The installation was completed by dpa designer Ingo Kalecinski, in collaboration with designers Graham Rollins and Nils Rigbers of other organisations.
