The vibrant, immersive structure transforms the urban landscape into a playground of color and geometry, inviting visitors to step inside a three-dimensional rainbow maze.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe artwork is composed of intertwined tubular forms that rise and curve into an abstract pyramid-like silhouette. Its surface is covered in a gradient of rainbow hues, producing a dazzling visual effect that shifts with light and perspective. From afar, Pyramid Curbs appears as a monumental bundle of neon-colored roots, while up close it becomes a walkable labyrinth where visitors can explore and lose themselves between the inflated walls.<\/p>\n<p>all images by DGRI, Bryan Esler, Shafi Subhan, courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.townandconcrete.com\/\">Cyril Lancelin \u2013 Town and Concrete<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">integrating sculpture, architecture, and playground<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>True to French <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.townandconcrete.com\/\">artist-architect<\/a><\/strong> Cyril Lancelin\u2019s practice, the work blurs the boundaries between sculpture, architecture, and playground. Repetition and variation of geometric modules create a structure that is at once monumental and approachable. The installation celebrates collectivity and joy, encouraging people of all ages to engage physically and emotionally with the piece.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Return to the River provides the backdrop for this urban intervention, reconnecting Grand Rapids\u2019 downtown with the waterfront through art, music, and public events. In this context, Pyramid Curbs acts as both a landmark and a social condenser, a meeting point where color, scale, and form merge to reimagine how public space can feel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Cyril Lancelin debuts Pyramid Curbs at the Return to the River festival in Grand Rapids<\/p>\n<p>intertwined tubular forms rise into an abstract pyramid-like silhouette<\/p>\n<p>a rainbow gradient covers the surface, shifting with light and perspective<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the work becomes a walkable labyrinth of inflated walls<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>repetition and variation of modules create rhythm and scale<\/p>\n<p>the installation merges sculpture, architecture, and playground design<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the installation creates a shared space of discovery and connection<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>visitors are invited to explore the maze-like interior<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the inflatable installation transforms the city into a geometric playground<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>rainbow tones shift constantly with changes in light<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Pyramid Curbs<br \/>\n<strong>designer:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.townandconcrete.com\/\">Cyril Lancelin<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/town.and.concrete\/\">@town.and.concrete<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan<\/p>\n<p><strong>client:<\/strong> Downtown Grand Rapids Inc | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/downtowngrinc\/\">@downtowngrinc<\/a> \/ Return to the River Festival | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/returntotheriver\/\">@returntotheriver<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>production:<\/strong> ATC<\/p>\n<p><strong>photographers:<\/strong> DGRI, Bryan Esler, Shafi Subhan<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/art\/intertwined-tubular-forms-inflatable-rainbow-labyrinth-cyril-fancelin-grand-rapids-pyramid-curbs-09-20-2025\/\">intertwined tubular forms shape inflatable rainbow labyrinth by cyril fancelin in grand rapids<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cyril Lancelin unveils pyramid curbs in Grand Rapids \u00a0 At the Return to the River festival in Grand Rapids, Cyril Lancelin \u2013\u00a0Town and Concrete\u00a0introduces his latest large-scale inflatable installation, Pyramid Curbs.
