What if there was a better way to spend the summer other than swinging underneath the blue skies? You may recall The Event Of A Thread, created by Ann Hamilton and constructed at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City. The installation consisted of interactive swings that would generate the movement of attached fabric when swung. Some people enjoyed the childhood past-time of swinging, while others would enjoy the art from lying underneath the flowing fabrics.
There is a new swing installation that is redefining the elegance of childhood. Recently, in Milan, London designer Philippe Malouin encouraged people to swing on a swing set in the Palazzo Serbelloni. Can you imagine visiting an elaborate 18th century palace and finding an over-sized swing set? Each of the eight seats were constructed from different forms of Ceasarstone, pairing with the matching Ceasarstone runner underneath the swing. To showcase the versatility of Ceasarstone, Malouin also designed geometric planters, varying in size.
