The Harvey Nichols department store in the oh so fashionable Knightsbridge district of London hired Heatherwick Studios to design their window display for the 1998 London Fashion Week.
Heatherwick incorporated a hybrid of sculpture and architecture in his installation. The installation looks like some kind of invasive mutant growth oozing out of the display windows and crawling onto the brick building, creating a playful urban surrealism. In reality, it is a meticulously crafted and jointed plywood structure, suspended from the facade by a network of steel cables.
