      Ten installations by Kriskadecor that use chain curtains to dramatic effect

      by

      Promotion: from space dividers to ceiling features, Kriskadecor creates bespoke hanging installations from colourful aluminium chains. Here, we’ve rounded up ten of the Spanish brand’s most prominent projects.

      Each of Kriskadecor’s chain-link fixtures can be customised with different colours, shapes and sizes that can be tailored to different environments, whether interior or exterior.
      Since it was founded in 1926, the brand has refined its production process, integrating 20 per cent recycled content and anodising the metal for durability and colourfastness.
      “We have developed a unique manufacturing process which has been fine-tuned over the years by relying on an essential cornerstone, the human component,” said Kriskadecor.
      “The chain links spring from a perfect balance between an industrial process and the oversight of our technicians, whose expert hands check each project in detail.”

      Read on for ten of the brand’s seminal installations.

      A gradient curtain of sunset-coloured chains offers a contrast against the neutral interiors of this office in New York by marketing company MiQ.
      The divider is designed to help separate the space into a series of open, spacious work areas to encourage collaboration without blocking natural light from streaming into the interior.

      Chainlinks of various colours including deep blue, black and pale silver create intricate patterns that resemble raindrops while blending in with the moody palette of the surrounding interior.

      Instead of being anodised to create different colours, the aluminium links used in this particular installation are lacquered in a saturated yellow hue from Kriskadecor’s new Luxe Edition palette, which provides a more matte finish while improving durability.
      While this version was custom made to suit a restaurant interior by English practice Stac Architecture, the collection also includes an extensive range of other Pantone and RAL colours from Capri Blue to Raspberry Red.

      More than 230 kilometres worth of chains in shades of gold and brown hang from the ceiling in the cafeteria of Holland’s largest shopping centre.
      Organised into 30 curved panels, the installation meanders its way through the interior, imitating the organic flow of air while helping to create a sense of intimacy within the vast commercial space.

      The installation’s colour gradient starts on the ceiling with shades of orange, brown and gold that tie into the rest of the interior, before going on to incorporate various hues of blue towards the bottom.

      Lengths of aluminium in a delicate champagne colour run along the length of three entire floors in the interior courtyard of this renovated Neo-Renaissance-style office in Budapest.
      Beyond adding a sense of understated elegance, they also help to conceal the building’s unsightly plumbing and electrics.

      Thanks to the natural durability of the anodised aluminium, Kriskadecor’s wall hangings can also be applied to the exterior of a building like cladding, as seen on the Archiproducts shop in Milan.
      Here, the custom installation is mounted using a special fixing system, customised to fit the shape of the facade and imbued with a vibrant geometric pattern.

      With their gentle shape and colouring, the dangling fixtures help to bring a sense of softness to an otherwise industrial space.

      Instead of walls, this rest area in the Dutch office of IPG Mediabrands is bounded by transparent aluminium-chain curtains on two sides in order to allow light to permeate into the rest of the interior.
