Project Description

Echo Box is a reflective landscape object made of black stainless steel, designed to visually extend the surrounding vegetation through mirrored depth and spatial inversion. The polished surface transforms nearby plants, light, and shadow into a continuously changing atmospheric composition, allowing the object to continuously change its color, tonality, and perceived depth in response to its surroundings.

Reflective black stainless steel surface visually extends surrounding space through mirrored depth

ECHO BOX

The placement and proportion of the openings are loosely inspired by patterns observed in plant tissue, introducing an organic order into a minimalist geometric form.
