Promotion: aluminium chain-link hangings created by Spanish design brand Kriskadecor are being used for ceiling installations to enhance a variety of interiors.
Kriskadecor's aluminium chains – a design the brand patented in 1932 – come in a diverse range of colours, finishes, shapes, densities and alignments. metal studs framing
As well as utilising the product as space dividers, wall coverings and facade cladding, the brand has observed a trend for architects and designers to create bold and unexpected ceiling installations with its aluminium chains.
This includes the 61 Osteria restaurant in Fort Worth, Texas, which was crowned with an opulent-looking geometric gold chain arrangement. Meanwhile, the Ecla Paris Villejuif youth co-living residences in France feature loops of colourful chains hung from the ceiling.
"One of the most captivating and potentially impactful elements in interior design is the ceiling, as it can instantly capture attention, adding a touch of surprise and charm to the environment," said Kriskadecor.
"That's why more and more interior design professionals are paying special attention to their creative possibilities, making them stand out thanks to original and striking designs."
According to the brand, ceiling installations can heighten the sense of space within an interior, while the chains' reflective properties help to diffuse natural daylight or accentuate the glow of lighting.
Kriskadecor's technical office approaches each project as a one-off, working with clients to create a piece that is personalised to the space.
As the material is light, it can be used to create a wide variety of different installations, including large-scale hanging sculptures. The chains can be used to create soft waves, dense volumes and even the illusion of rain, says Kriskadecor.
The installations can be used to dramatically change the overall feel of a space, for example decreasing the height of a ceiling, making a large room feel more intimate or delineating areas within an open space.
The chains are available in a wide colour palette, ranging from anodised finishes to any RAL or Pantone hue. Kriskadecor even has a custom in-house design tool that can reproduce any picture, pattern or logo, treating every link in the chain as a pixel.
Kriskadecor's chains are durable and low-maintenance as aluminium is resistant to corrosion and wear.
Supporting the circular economy, the metal is infinitely recyclable and the chain links comprise 20 per cent recycled material.
