Infiniti Gallery of Design
Pebble Beach, California

The Infiniti Gallery of Design, "Form Follows Emotion," was designed by Gabellini Sheppard for the 2007 Concours d'Elegance at Pebble Beach California. The Infiniti Gallery of Design comprises a pantheon of contemporary luxury designers and products. From fashion to furnishings, these icons of modern lifestyle converge with Infiniti in their ability to inspire a heightening of the senses, steeped in the power of nature and uncompromising craft.

The exhibition is conceived as a theatrical garden of luminescent, floating lily pads to foreground each featured design. Incorporating chiaroscuro painting techniques of dramatic light and shadow, the atmosphere is enlivened by an undulating crimson wall and acutely lit elliptical platforms with hovering canopies. The stretched fabric wall winds and wraps around the space as a sculptural ribbon of color and energy.

The gallery features vehicle design by Infiniti; cosmetics by Shu Uemura; fashion by Yeohlee; furnishings and fixtures by Cassina, Kohler, FLOS, and Etienne de Souza; spirits by Bambu; and jewelry by Irene Neuwirth.
