A Study of Movement and Light

We reimagined festive design for The Standard, Brussels. Inspired by the high-shine glamour of 1970s disco, the piece channels KA PAI’s signature energy — playful, tactile, and immersive — into a sculptural, monumental, shimmering arch that transforms the Red Bar’s interior. Composed of silver foil curtains, cascading tassels, preserved amaranthus, and vintage ribbons, the installation dances under LED strip lighting, creating a layered, textural experience that shifts with every movement. Blurring the line between nostalgia and modern design, ‘A Study in Movement and Light’ captures the opulence and rhythm of the disco era while reimagining it through a contemporary lens — a celebration of motion, material, and the timeless appeal of shimmer.
