Capezio Store

The art of dance was the inspiration for the design of this 8,000 square foot flagship specialty store  located in mid-town Manhattan.  Elevated one story above the street, the observer enters into a world of kinetic sculptures which were conceived as prototypical kiosks for Capezio Dance Shops.  The one and two-way mirrored wings of each sculpture are synchronized to pivot according to programmed intervals, alternately veiling and exposing suspended video monitors and speakers which promote various artists' work.  Filtering through this forest of moving panels, the observer becomes a participant in a ballet of refracted images, rhythms, and infinite reflections.
