VanDeVelde NY Showroom is 3D made by inform


































One interesting project completed recently by inform studio inc. was a complex display for a famous
European lingerie company in New York City's garment district. Van De Velde is an international company expanding into the U.S. market and inform studio built a stunning display designed by ilab for Van De Veld's flagship New York City wholesale studio.

The project is truly a 3-D spectacle. Twenty one individual polyhedrons are grouped together to form an undulating wall of geometry. ilab architects produced over 100 drawings to describe the project in enough detail for inform studio inc. to build it. Cabinetry is always an assemblage of parts which then connect and form a whole . In this case the parts were complete and interesting objects in their own right. The individual units were fabricated to hang on the wall just like a traditional cabinet. Each unit has a recessed back and cleats which are hidden from view which the units hang from.
