A contemporary ice palace

Enter a hypnotic labyrinth of color, movement and light.

Rotate the 25 prisms to orchestrate a ballet of colors and lights. Each prism is made up of panels covered with a dichroic filter which, during the day, plays with ambient light to reveal the colors of the rainbow depending on your viewing angle.

When the sun sets, the installation takes on a new dimension. Spotlights built into the prisms’ bases light up, transforming the space into a living tableau of vibrant hues and changing patterns.

This contemporary ice palace is an invitation to explore, interact and be amazed.
