Transformit, a tension-fabric structure design firm, created this organic structure which served as the focal point of the Oki Exhibit at CeBIT 2003 in Hanover, Germany. Oki, a manufacturer of color printing solutions, said the sculpture was “the defining component” of the exhibit. The concept for the structure was conceived by German design firm Fricke Le Royer and Transformit was responsible for design and fabrication. The three-dimensional translucent fabric and aluminum form conveyed Oki’s position as the industry leader in color printing solutions. Enabling the translucent structure to stand and hold its form required precise engineering and development of new assembly techniques.
