Last week I visited The New Décor exhibition at the Hayward Gallery. The first floor has been furnished with sculptures and installations which takes interior design as a point of departure. A combination of drama and illusion, highlights include – Roman Signer‘s ’Floating Table’ and Spencer Finch’s light installation, Night Sky. On the second floor, Ernesto Neto: The Edges of the World, there is a labyrinthine installation, a series of sculptures-within-sculptures invites you to explore, relax and have fun. Each distinct area morphs into another. In one room the installation leads you through to an outdoor swimming pool!
