Promotion:<\/strong><\/a> from hotel<\/a> lobbies to architectural facades<\/a>, Kriskadecor<\/a> has selected six projects where its metal chains create a creative impact. <\/p>\n

Founded in 1926 in Montblanc, Spain, Kriskadecor designs aluminium chain solutions for buildings and interiors, creating striking installations that sculpt space inside and out.<\/p>\n

In its earlier years, Kriskadecor made iron chain curtains designed to let air flow through a home while keeping insects out. Now, the brand uses lightweight aluminium in a range of colours to create striking chain designs.<\/p>\n

\"KriskadecorKriskadecor has created metal chains since 1926<\/p>\n

“Combining craftsmanship with in-house technology, the company has developed its original chain solutions into an expressive material language, one that filters light, defines boundaries, conveys identity, and invites interaction,” said Kriskadecor.<\/p>\n

“Now led by the third generation, Kriskadecor manufactures patented aluminium chain solutions tailored to each project,” the brand continued.<\/p>\n

“Rooted in complete customisation and close collaboration, the company supports clients throughout the creative process, helping translate ideas into spatial experiences.”<\/p>\n

To celebrate the brand’s centenary, Kriskadecor has selected six architectural and interior projects that use its chains in interesting ways.<\/p>\n

Casa Batll\u00f3, Spain<\/strong><\/p>\n

Forming part of a renovation project by architecture studio Kengo Kuma and Associates<\/a>, Kriskadecor created a cascading chain installation at Casa Batll\u00f3, a building in Barcelona designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaud\u00ed<\/a> in 1904.<\/p>\n

Created to complement Gaud\u00ed’s organic architecture style, the chains have a layered gradient effect that aims to add a sense of depth to the visitor route and filter daylight coming from the skylight overhead.<\/p>\n

Kriskadecor’s chain curtains were used to cloak the exterior of the Ecuador Pavilion at the Milan Expo 2015<\/a>, designed by Spanish architecture studio Zorrozua y Asociados.<\/p>\n

Colourful, geometric patterns informed by traditional Otavalo textiles decorated the exterior, which was the first time Kriskadecor used its chains across a building’s facade and to reproduce large-scale images.<\/p>\n

Sinuous chains form a flowing ceiling installation at the Dining Plaza of Westfield Mall of the Netherlands, which was created by Dutch architecture studio MVSA Architects<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Comprising 30 brown and gold curved elements and over 235 kilometres of aluminium chain, the installation is the largest of Kriskadecor’s to date.<\/p>\n

Rings of rainbow-coloured chains descend to surround seating areas at this office<\/a> space in Kirkland, Washington<\/a>, which was designed by American studio DLR Group.<\/p>\n

Kriskadecor’s intervention aims to organise the interior layout of the workplace while maintaining daylight and a sense of openness.<\/p>\n

Savoy Palace, Portugal<\/strong><\/p>\n

A sculptural chain chandelier hangs in the lobby of the Savoy Palace hotel in Madeira, Portugal<\/a>, created by designer Nini Andrade Silva, which aims to create an impactful arrival space.<\/p>\n

Designed to evoke waterfalls and flowing water, the chandelier’s dramatic chains enclose the lobby’s lighting.<\/p>\n

Barcel\u00f3 Nasandhura Mal\u00e9 hotel, Maldives<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drawing on the surrounding ocean landscape, Kriskadecor created a flowing, blue chain design for the Barcel\u00f3 Nasandhura hotel in Mal\u00e9 in the Maldives<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Referencing the fluid motion of waves, the chains rise from behind the reception desks and across the ceiling in snaking patterns.<\/p>\n
