For the 15th edition of Design Miami, Studio Swine has created an inflatable bubble-shaped booth on behalf of Instagram Design.
Made from PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) that is 100% recyclable, the booth is lightweight and compactable.
“The inflatables are translucent which allows viewers to see through the whole booth as if looking through a foam of soap bubbles,” said Studio Swine. ‘This allows visitors to see the intriguing shapes of the design objects inside and also to create a photo opportunity for themselves within the installation.”
Ever since the launch of Instagram’s @design account, the remarkable works of architects, designers and artists around the world have been highlighted and shared with an audience in the hundreds of thousands.
“The first hire at Instagram was a person dedicated to cultivating community and inclusivity,” said Kristen Joy Watts, creative lead of @design. “The @instagram account is a platform dedicated to shining a spotlight on underrepresented creative people from around the world.”
As part of the #designforall series, Instagram celebrated those who are “designing for a more inclusive, accessible and diverse world” by presenting the works of Kano, Deva Pardue, Yona Care and The Alleles Design Studio at Design Miami within Studio Swine’s bubble booth.
“Bubbles are transparent, accessible, fragile and protective. All qualities that speak of the #designforall selection which are special designs of their time; born out of need but also requiring the platform Instagram and Design Miami provide to make them prosper and not disappear into a great missed opportunity for a better world,” added Studio Swine.
