Murmurations: Artists pay homage to flocking birds with cardboard light installation

If you've ever had the pleasure of witnessing a murmuration of starlings, a swooping mass of thousands of birds whirling in the sky above you, then you'll surely appreciate this stunning art installation by Seattle and Amsterdam-based design studio Graypants.

Written By:

Mimicking what you'd expect to see over Brighton's blackened West Pier each November, the hanging sculpture is made up of hundreds of LED lights made out of cardboard – all inspired by the breathtaking natural phenomenon of murmurations.

Each pendant within the supposed 'flock' is harmoniously connected with its neighbours. Graypants explained: "The avian spectacle is translated into dynamic installations, with captivating three-dimensional forms. By composing light in this way, we create a powerful collection that’s poised to tip, always on the verge of instant transformation."

Murmurations was created for Milan Design Week. To discover more, visit www.graypants.com.
