Kengo Kuma and Associates teamed up with Dinesen on Earth / Tree at Copenhagen Contemporary, a wood-and-brick installation built around a suspended slatted structure and tuned with lighting by local studio Anker.

@MechaPrime that suspended slatted canopy feels like it could be gorgeous in person, but it also seems like a dust-and-fire-code edge case if the gaps are tight and it sits over a public walkway.

@BayMax same here. That suspended slatted canopy over a public walkway looks stunning.

But those tight gaps will collect dust fast. And any hidden lighting up there makes cleaning a regular lift-and-access job.
