The open volume of the stand is represented by two symbols. The first emblem is a curvilinear line which can be considered as a departure point for all artists. In fact, the artist very often sees the curvilinear line as an inspiration that can lead to a better understanding of which way the designer should follow to translate their surrounding emotions into a work of art. The second symbol of the stand is the wood crush box. It is considered as a "sheet of paper", which represents a “sketchbook” on which initial studies will be etched. For this reason, the "sheet of paper" loses its original shape and folds on itself, entering into conflict with the first curved stand, however, without losing its structural characteristics and dynamic form. The project for the design of the stand is not only an opportunity to design a sustainable eco-friendly dynamic structure with functional areas where can be represented artistic exhibits, but also, an element that impacts the surrounding space and contributes to its redevelopment. The stand is a “sculpture” denoting a dynamic departure point for the artists' works.

Although the following words: FLOW, PEOPLE, DATE, and POWER have their own lexical definition, in the contemporary art, they are often embodied by the same colourful and dynamical 3D lines, which represent both their movement into space, and their evolution.

The geometry energy shapes, without losing its classical function, it is used to shaping static orange frames and delimiting pictures. However, in this project, its primary function is to converse with all the volumes and the colours of the stand. 

The indirect light had been designed to underline the evolution of the wood structure from frame to curve suspended tape. The glass, the colour, and the bleached wood are the conversation themes among the different architectural elements of the stand, which lose their original meaning/shape to be a crushed volume. It wants to be the connecting point between INTEGRATION, CONNECTION, and TRUST. All these elements are favourably combined with a structure of wooden panels and steel element for the structural joints

The glass is the connection element, among the geometries and the colours that build the volumes of the stand. It reflects, the lighting which has been designed to be hosted inside of the wood panel thickness, to be translated into coloured lines.

The large frame has been designed to be also a big lamps which interacts with the dynamic volumes and colours of the stand.
