Troika + The Cloud

Troika is a multi-disciplinary art and design agency that was founded in 2003 by Conny Freyer, Eva Rucki and Sebastien Noel. They come from varied back grounds such as graphic and communication, art, product design and engineering. Conny, Eva and Sebastien met while studying at the Royal College of Art in London and produce a variety of work from printed matter to product design and custom art installations.

Troika was commissioned by the Artwise Curators to create a digital signature piece for the entrance of the new British Airwaysluxury lounges in Heathrow Terminal 5. The surface is covered in about 5,000 small electromechanical indicator that flip between black and silver. The designer used the metaphor of the cloud to represent flight and in contrast to the craziness of airports to the peace and beauty we experience up in the clouds.
