Le Lieu du design, modèle de promotion du design le plus adéquat en France est un lieu qui fait dialoguer le design avec l’industrie de pointe». Jean-Louis Fréchin. UFO by Ross Lovegrove for Lille 3000. British designer Ross Lovegrove has installed a silver spaceship in the rafters of a railway station in Lille, France.
UFO was commissioned by arts organisation Lille 3000 for Fantastic 2012, a festival of futuristic concepts in design and the arts. In addition to the ring of LEDs around its perimeter, the aluminium spaceship intermittently sends a central shaft of light down to the ground, where it appears to select a passenger to beam up into the craft.
