X-Puzzleis an immersive lighting installation designed for the Darc Awards 2025 in London, inspired by the theme of “10” (X in Roman numerals). The design deconstructsand rebuildsthe number X, transforming it into a dynamic composition of intersecting lines and patterns that shift with movement and light.

Using mirror surfaces, dichroic filters, and foamboard, the installation creates an interactive experiencewhere reflections, colours, and shadowscontinuously evolve. Visitors are invited to explore the space from different angles, engaging with the layered optical effects. Carefully integrated luminaires enhance this play of light, reinforcing the concept of transformation and reconstruction.

Designed with sustainability in mind, all materials are sourced from Foster + Partners’ Modelshop recycling stock, ensuring a responsible and minimal-waste approach to its construction and dismantling
