Just like a Lego brick, 8 is the basic modular element of an infinite number of inflatable structures. Suggested length: 150 centimeters (1 square on the grid of the plan equals 15 centimeters). Suggested colors: orange (see inflatable link), black (see chain), brown, off white. Suggested plastic finish: mate, shiny, velvet.
The Line
Conceptual extrusion of the basic element (link) in one dimension to create a line, a chain, a frieze... Suited for encircling a solid structure such as a stair case, an elevator cage or for creating a 3D frieze on a wall just below the ceiling...
Sketch of the mid-section of the chain.
3D visualization of a chain.
Suggested arrangement for a two-color chain: off-white/shiny and brown/velvet.
The Plane
Conceptual extrusion of the line into a plane.
The Cube
Conceptual extrusion of the plane into a cube.
Based on the three examples above an infinite number of different structures can be generated.
