Jose Gonzalez and Michael Szivo run a New York-based design studio called SOFTlab. They have an exibit opening up soon at at "Devotion - a new gallery in Williamsburg focusing on the intersection of art, science, new media, and design." Their exbit, called CHROMAesthesiae, consists of multiple bell-shaped paper blossoms that hang from ceiling space. Each blossom has a different combination of contrasting colors in high chroma (chroma is the level of brightness and intensity of a color). The design and color scheme is beautiful and would do well in a lounge or club setting. I feel too many deigners are straying away from beauty, so it's nice to see it being respected.
SOFTlab is also responsible for many other large scale works of art in many other mediums. ONe such impressive work is called pAlice, a network of over 2400 interconnected triangular panels, done to "turn the room inside out." The name 'pAlice' references what is known as the Alice Universe where at least two topologically-distinct routes between any two points exists.
