Philip Michael Wolfson : Soundform Fluid Bar Pour les whiskies Glenmorangie, l'architecte et designer londonien Philip Michael Wolfson a dessiné ce bar aux lignes tendues et aux angles vifs, comme une représentation spatiale d'une onde sonore. Sur ce projet, Philip Michael Wolfson précise : "For Glenmorangie, we have created SoundForm FLUID; conceived as a concrete visualization capturing a moment in time and preserving an anticipation of pleasure. The idea for the Glenmorangie work, SoundForm FLUID, is a development of my studios’ research in the manner in which SOUND can be conveyed and transformed into a tangible object. SoundForm FLUID is inspired by the visuals achieved through the audio recording of sound created by the pouring of liquid into a crystal glass. The subsequent graph, or sonogram, recording was used as a base profile, or visual, which instigates the geometry of the design. In the design you have the movement of the pouring of the liquid which creates this languid, rhythmic motion, the reaction between the crystal glass and the liquid and then, the resulting stillness as the liquid settles in the glass This moment of tranquillity, where we can pause and reflect on our accomplishments is the ‘pearl of great price’ that we seek. SoundForm FLUID has been conceived as visual concrete poetry, where the representation of sound conveys an intended meaning or effect, referencing the spiritual aspect of the musical instrument. At each stage of the creation process, revisions, alterations and adjustments are carried out to allow for the realization. In the fabrication, we had to resolve demanding technical issues to do with the complex compound curves of the design, as well as developing new techniques for the finishing, which is a powder coating of 2 different colours – a fascinating challenge that required a new approach."
