Atrium Art Installation

Julie | April 4, 2008 at 2:29 pm | In Art on Eurodam, Latest News |

Chief Engineer Frank de Vries sent us this photo of the atrium art being installed. The flowers are being affixed to the sculpture to give the appearance that they are floating down from the ceiling.

As we mentioned back in December, the impressive work of art was designed by Vincent Jansen for VFD Architects, and it is being executed by a Dutch company called Transtech. Carolijn Nelis from VFD told us that while the flowers look like glass, they actually are made from material approved for use on cruise ships by the International Maritime Organization. The flowers will change color depending on the time of day: bright colors during the day and warm colors in the evening.

Take a look and compare the actual piece versus the rendering.

  1. Do you know if this will be lit up in only purple, or if the colors cycle like on Noordam?

    Also, will the cone portion rotate as the sculptures do on the Vista Class?

  2. InTheWaySide,
    We contacted VFD and were told that the fixture will change color and be lit in bright colors during the day and warm colors in the evening. The cone will not rotate as on other ships.
