Work | Ganbei
Ganbei was a place-making intervention in Los Angeles’ Chinatown district intended to highlight a series of events being held there…
.
.
…as part of the Los Angeles Design Festival which commissioned this piece.

.
This suspended canopy is utilized to define and give identity to an outdoor gathering space which creates a sense of arrival to the festival.
.
Ganbei provides an altogether different experience at night.

The transparency of the installation heightens the perception of the blue sky
.
The wine glasses reflect and refract the nearby lights to create a stark contrast against the night sky
