Lexus 'Sparks of Tomorrow': Germane Barnes x Aqua Creations

As colorful as your vision,
as optimistic as your future.

Color isn’t merely aesthetic, it’s a liberating way of life. Colors and luminosity influence our minds, our homes and inmost hearts. Let us take you on a journey through our presentation at Milan Design Week '22.

Aqua Creations teamed up with Lexus and award-winning designer Germane Barnes, for 'Sparks of Tomorrow'; an immersive installation showing a sculptural realization of the RZ, a battery-electric vehicle coming to market. 

The installation envisions an electrified, optimistic and colorful future featuring Aqua Creations colorful Code 130° silk collection, that underlines the values of luxury and high quality craftsmanship that both Aqua and Lexus share. In the adjacent lounge, new additions to our beloved ToTeM Family collection was launched.

The brightly colored and playful silk collection of Code 130° pendant lamps is designed to create a sense of optimism, blending seamlessly with the distinct futuristic aspect of Germane’s wireframe design. Understanding that a car is an expression of one's identity, Aqua selected the buildable Code 130° pieces that allow you to combine endless shapes and colors to individualize a space.

With its signature silk shades, Aqua Creations’ Code 130° silk collection brings an inviting warmth to the ON/ immersive experience. The colorful pendant lights illuminating the vehicle added a delicate, material and joyful quality to the immersive installation. As a result of the booth’s glossy floor, the wireframe car is visible from all angles. This concept was mimicked through the glossy plates of Code 130° models, blending seamlessly with this concept of the installation.

Aqua Creations partnered with Lexus beyond the ON/ installation, introducing its expanded ToTeM Family collection for the first time in the Lexus Lounge. Using design to emulate the lounge’s function to rest and recharge, the modular ToTeM Family collection will function as artwork that illuminates the space. The contrast of the Code 130° and ToTeM collections show two opposites, and the variety that Aqua Creations offers through color, material and design.
