Double Rainbow

Brooklyn, NY, 2018

A suspended feature installation for the Pratt Institute Design Show, Double Rainbow hangs above the exhibition floor as its central spatial event. Faceted, iridescent surfaces catch and split the light of the hall, shifting in color as visitors move beneath and around them.

Designed, fabricated, and installed with a small student team, the project moved from drawing through production to installation under exhibition deadline.

SOAP — Sorenson Office and Partners

SOAP is an architecture and design office in Brooklyn. We make spaces and the things in them, and often build them ourselves.

Objects

Furniture, art, small objects, and furnishings made by SOAP, often alongside the buildings they sit in.

About

SOAP is Sorenson Office and Partners. At its core is a hands-on studio; around it, partners who change with each project: fabricators, artists, engineers, brands, friends, whoever the work needs.

We design spaces and the things that go in them: houses, interiors, shops, restaurants, exhibitions, installations, furniture, objects, and the occasional identity. Often we build them too, in-house or on site. We like odd-shaped problems, budgets that make us inventive, and details that reward a second look.

So far that has taken us to New York, Las Vegas, Melbourne, Seoul, and a small town in Portugal.
