Brizo / Delta Showroom, Merchandise Mart, Chicago

The act of touching is how we make sense of what we’re seeing — how a discovery becomes “real.” Here, that moment is expressed through a set of iridescent arms, arranged to recall a school of fish. 

SCHOOL OF TOUCH

Like moths to a flame, they are subconsciously drawn to a touch-sensitive faucet. Because not only does the faucet demand to be touched — it’s intelligent enough to respond to it. 

We build this display in collaboration with Young & Laramore. The arms, salvaged from a mannequin repair shop in Seattle, are coated wtih a low-VOC paint, while the fabric comes from remnant piles in Chicago textile houses. All of which reflects our belief that sustainability can still inspire.
