skull studio says \u2018The Floor is lava soft\u2019<\/h2>\n

At the 2025 UIT Festival in Tartu, Estonia<\/a><\/strong>, SKULL studio unveiled \u2018The Floor is lava soft!\u2019 \u2014 a temporary installation that turns a car park into an unexpected playground. Led by Czech artist Mat\u011bj H\u00e1jek, creative strategist Pavel Kraj\u010d\u00edk, and photographer Bet Orten, the collective replaces asphalt and parked cars with straw bales to soften the urban landscape<\/a><\/strong>. The result is a curious intervention that invites passersby to touch, jump, play, sit, gather, or simply pause, blurring the boundaries between everyday infrastructure and spaces of play. Sometimes all it takes is to simply create spaces where play is allowed.<\/p>\n

skull turns the city into a canvas of play<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Founded in 2020 by Mat\u011bj H\u00e1jek and Bet Orten<\/a><\/strong>, SKULL studio positions itself as a laboratory of ideas, concepts, and visions. Sculpture becomes a gaming element, the landscape transforms into a playground, interiors evolve into works of art, and photography transcends into image-making. Multidisciplinarity lies at the heart of the practice, uniting expertise from art, design, and technology into interventions that are both playful and socially engaging.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

With \u2018The Floor is lava soft!\u2019, the studio demonstrates its ethos in action: challenging the rigidity of the urban environment with an intervention that is ephemeral, humorous, and human. In doing so, SKULL turns the city itself into a canvas, one where softness interrupts hardness, and where play transforms everyday life.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

by replacing the typical urban materiality with straw bales, the intervention softens the city landscape<\/p>\n

SKULL creates a tactile space that is adapted and changed by those using it<\/p>\n

this \u2018anomaly of softness\u2019 encourages anyone to touch, jump, play, sit, gather or simply just lay around<\/p>\n

\u2018The Floor is lava soft!\u2019 blurs the boundaries between the spaces of play and the city itself<\/p>\n
