between reflections of spotlights beams, three small vignette stages appear.
located within the vibrant diesel home collection retail store, stand several 2.8 meter-high multifaceted mirrors in the middle of the space.
on one side of the large surfaced installation, marine and navy blue vertical stripes line the glass.
while on the revere side, silver and white stripes in a herringbone pattern creates an fun atmosphere similar to a circus tent.
the furniture pieces seem to dance around the structure while a tiny hoop located in the center of the design gives a sense of play and entertainment for visiting customers.
