Munich-based designer ingo maurer has presented at this year’s milan design week his concept for the seemingly jovial structure to be built in theart park in inhotim, brazil. the design of a large scale architectural rendition of a ceramic table lamp called ‘broken egg’ from 1996 will greet visitorswith a curious wonder, using the egg’s natural geometries to create a quite incredible interior auditorium space. an organic fissure runs across curvingroof and wall letting in only a sliver of light that reveals the volumetric expanse of interior space, but also draws a powerful ray of light to the exteriorfrom the activity inside. the approach is reminiscent of an alien aircraft’s entrance stairs from an old science fiction movie, perhaps lending to themysterious nature of its origins. the long entry stairs colored a vivid red gradually separate the guest from the ground plane and dramatically allowthe egg structure to grow in size as they approach the entrance through the middle of the interior seating structure. the primary platform is similar to a plate elevated above the rounded ground level, not quite reaching the edges of the envelope suggesting an infinite space.
