as part of clerkenwell design week, jestico + whiles has created aperture, an interactive installation using PORCELANOSA group’s next generation material, krion™. the immersive sculpture experiments with light, form and perspective and it is comprised of 64 fins of the solid material which are dynamically lit, creating a unique visual experience. 

influenced by the rich history of clerkenwell, jestico + whiles‘ installation is a sculptural homage to george eastman’s kodak factory which was situated in the area in the late 19th century. a study on aperture and light, the installation is made from krion™, a material warm to the touch that resembles natural stone and consists of two-thirds natural minerals and a low percentage of high-resistance resins. aperture signifies the first time the architecture and interiors practice participates at clerkenwell design week since they moved into their new offices in the area last year.
