stockholm design week 09: 'ominous' by monica förster
image © designboom
with alfred hitchcock's film 'the birds' in mind, swedish
designer monica förster created
a spine-tingling atmosphere at the nordic light hotel during
stockholm design week.
by using crude materials, like barbed wire and telegraph poles
and a huge flock of black birds
that draw shadows on the walls, she wanted to build an
unexpected, scary feeling –
in contrast to the normally 'shiny' and friendly lobby. the installation named 'ominous' will
be open until mid of april.
