The WaterLovers pavilion was designed for Biotherm company and was demonstrated for the first time as part of the Esquire Weekend 2019 event, held on June 8 at the Khlebzavod art-center, Moscow.
The concept and design of the pavilion: Victor Polyakov Producer and technical director: Alexander Funtov
The French cosmetics company has been working for many years to solve the problem of plastic waste polluting the world's oceans. The object is intended to draw attention to the problems of efficient plastic processing and the influence of anthropological impact on the planet’s biosphere.
Pavilion design consists of more than 700 recyclable plastic bottles. The ceiling of the object is made up of several spherical water tanks and, when exposed to direct sunlight, works as a kind of light filter – the space is filled with complex caustic effects resembling oceanic highlights. More than a ton of beach sand was used for floor covering. In addition, the object is equipped with finely dispersed water suspensions, which was extremely relevant, given the extremely hot weather on the day of the festival.

Павильон WaterLovers спроектирован для компании Biotherm и впервые демонстрировался в рамках ивента Esquire Weekend 2019, проводившегося 8 июня на Хлебозаводе. Всемирный день океанов в этом году совпал с датой проведения фестиваля.
Концепция и дизайн павильона: Виктор Поляков Продюсирование, технический директор: Alexander Funtov
Французская косметическая компания многие годы работает над решением проблемы пластиковых отходов загрязняющих мировой океан. Объект призван привлечь внимание к проблематике эффективной переработки пластика и влияния антропологического фактора на биосферу планеты.
Павильонная конструкция состоит из более чем 700 перерабатываемых пластиковых бутылок. Потолок объекта скомпонован из нескольких сферических резервуаров с водой и во время попадания прямых солнечных лучей, работает в качестве своего рода светофильтра, – пространство наполняется сложными каустическими эффектами, напоминающими океанические блики. Для покрытия пола использовано около тонны пляжного песка. Помимо этого, объект оборудован распылителями мелкодисперсной водной взвеси, что было крайне актуально, учитывая экстримально жаркую погоду в день проведения фестиваля.
