Bamboo Sound is a wayfinding system created for a hotel interior. The concise frame follows framing techniques drawn from South Chinese garden design. Multilayer frosted semitransparent acrylic is layered inside the frame, and the back is baked with white paint. Bamboo patterns are silk printed on the back of the acrylic, while the information is silk printed on the outer surface, creating distinct layers of depth. A copper frame is fixed around the acrylic. Changing ambient light leaves soft shadows on the surface, recalling bamboo leaves reflected on water.
