THE WRIGHT AT THE GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Specifier: Andre Kikoski Architects / New York, NY
Installer: Newmat USA Ltd. / W. Babylon, NY
In creating this dynamic and playful 1,600 square foot restaurant, Andre Kikoski designed the ceiling element, consisting of a three-tiered curved canopy, to flow across the room and extend part-way down one wall. To achieve this design Newmat constructed a custom metal skeleton wrapped with Newmat M15/white matt membrane, and light fixtures were installed between the tiers to create continuous cove lighting. The overall Newmat ceiling/wall element mimics the motion of the spiral ramp running through the main gallery and becomes the main focal point of this spectacular space.
