As part of its work to create safe, vibrant, and welcoming urban environments, Niam Real Estate has commissioned a new light artwork in Stockholm Harbour Blocks. The installation, titled Strömmar (“Currents”), is created by artist Jesper Wachtmeister and installed in the office building Grid17 on Hangövägen.
The artwork consists of 50 LED strips, each five meters long, suspended from the ceiling in a circular formation. Each strip is individually programmed to display light sequences thatone-third move between the floor and ceiling. The flowing light patterns represent the invisible streams that run through a building – electricity, data, air, water – and the human activity connecting them.
“We want to create environments that feel alive and welcoming even after office hours. Strömmar is a first step in giving Grid17 an identity and a warm, human scale even before tenants move in,” says Rickard Henriksson, Head of Real Estate at Niam Group.
“I wanted to visualize the invisible flows of the building and the city – a kind of digital pulse that reflects both activity and life,” says Jesper Wachtmeister, the artist behind the work.
