hong-kong based design studio, XEX, presents ‘prismverse’, an interactive diamond-themed installation in shanghai. the installation was completed for american skincare brand, dr. jart+, to serve as an experiential pavilion for their ‘instant V7 toning light’ at raffles city mall. the immersive installation is inspired by light rays traveling through a diamond. with a 10 meter-long LED floor and the complex geometrical tessellated mirror wall, the highly illuminated interior becomes a metaphor for the instant tone-up effect of the skin product.

the audience will be immersed in splendors of our mother nature, ranging from the galaxy and distant stars, rare gemstones, glistens of flowing water and refracted light beams‘, explains the design team. ‘these resemble the brightening, moisturizing, protective and vitalizing effects of the product once applied on skin‘.

in addition to viewing the product, visitors are immersed in a soundscape of alternating colors and dizzying patterns. the audience is also immersed in an ambient soundscape produced by sonihouse, where sound is equally distributed in every direction.
