dear designboom reader,

some recent public art draws design influences from nature. in farah al qasimi’s case, she creates a cluster of chanting oyster shells whose echoes play through embedded speakers. for ernesto neto, it’s his monumental crochet serpent, suspended within le bon marché in paris.

ice crystals inspire the geometric white flame art installation by space10 studio, located along kalun lake in china. in france’s loire valley, ENESS reinterprets fallen trees as a mountain of inflatable-like public art colored in hot pink.

thanks for reading!
