The Butterfly Effect

For the Hugo Boss store in Hawaii, we designed and produced a permanent sculpture of a flutter of butterflies. Carefully cut from aluminum and enameled in cool shades of blue and green, the butterflies are suspended from thin steel cables at different lengths to cascade down the staircase amidst photos of tropical foliage. Below are some shots of the project in production. The execution was delicate as the entire sculpture was completed in New York and shipped directly to Hawaii ready to hang, er.. fly!
