Neon

www.neon.uk

NEON was founded to elevate the everyday. They empathise and listen to ensure their projects resonate with people who use them. They manipulate familiar materials in ways previously un-imagined. They design with every sense in mind. They deliver once in a lifetime emotional experiences. NEON is an award winning design practice based in Margate, UK. The studio was founded to investigate the territory between architecture, art and design. We have worked on projects ranging in scale from objects up to monumental art installations. Alongside the team in the studio we work with a highly skilled team of engineers, interaction consultants and fabricators to deliver our projects

PROJECTS

Bridge as interactive tool. Anodized aluminium tubes moving in the wind

Mark Nixon of London-based studio Neon has transformed a bridge in Aarhus, Denmark, into a musical instrument by hanging metal tubes at the bottom. The musical bridge creates a surreal scenery accompanied by the sound that blends with the sounds of the forest

Tubes like arches for a pavilion in London. Union between engineering, art and education

Pump House Pavillon was created by the Neon Studio in collaboration with the students of Chestnut Grove. The aim was to demonstrate how art and design can find connections with science, technology, engineering and mathematics

Kinetic architecture in Finland. A pavilion for a relationship between man and nature

Shiver House, designed by the Neon Studio is a radical reinvention of the common Finnish refuge. The project is an "animal" kinetic structure that moves and adapts in response to the surrounding natural forces, creating a link between inhabitants and the natural world
