Where function meets imagination

Challenge

The goal was to create a large-scale installation that merged artistic expression with architectural precision. The structure needed to be visually poetic yet technically strong enough to span across the museum’s rooftop terrace.

Solution

Using Redfort’s Lalace net, the team developed a woven metal fabric that could carry both strength and subtlety. The custom mesh design allowed artist Jiang Qiong Er to “embroider” poetic words into the material, creating a floating artwork that balanced transparency and structure.

Product

The result is a monumental Lalace installation that transforms the Musée Guimet rooftop into a canvas of collective voices. Combining engineering with art, the woven net embodies the harmony between cultural storytelling and architectural design.

A huge carpet projected onto the ceiling invites you to the rooftop restaurant. The golden fabric also functions as a false ceiling behind which sprinklers, electrics, and ventilation systems are hidden. The transparency of the ceiling gives the illusion of a larger space. The pattern displays drops on a surface of water, it unifies the space, from the kitchen to the interior to the outside seating area.
