Architects of Air create luminaria - monumental sculptures designed to move people to a sense of wonder at the beauty of light and colour. From Hawaii to Hong Kong, Lithuania to Lebanon, the Bilbao Guggenheim to the Sydney Opera House, more than 3 million people around the world have been enchanted by Architects of Air’s luminaria since the company’s foundation in 1992. Designed by company founder Alan Parkinson, the luminaria are inspired by natural forms, geometric solids and Islamic & Gothic architecture. The name “Katena” reflects the inspiration of the “catenary curve” - the elegant shape that a chain creates when hung between 2 points - a shape that harmonises with the organic pneumatic forms of the luminarium. On arrival at Katena luminarium visitors are given a map before taking off their shoes and entering. Once inside they may lie back in the pods to enjoy the relaxing ambience or they may explore, wandering freely, immersed in radiant colour. Luminaria are accessible to all ages and all abilities. Each luminarium is a maze of winding paths and soaring domes that lead the visitor to an inspiring world apart from the everyday, a place to lose oneself entirely. Enter & be amazed…
