Internationally renowned sculpture arriving in Accrington
Over 3 million visitors across 40 countries and 5 continents have already journeyed inside an Architects of Air structure, and now it’s Accrington’s turn. ‘Lumini’ is an extraordinary inflatable space of light & colour for extraordinary projects, places and people.
Lumini, designed by Alan Parkinson, the beautiful and huge art installations are inspired by natural forms, geometric shapes, Islamic and gothic architecture. Visitors are invited to step inside to be immersed in radiant colour, created from daylight shining through the fabric.
The ‘Lumini’ structure arriving in Accrington has never before been experienced; it has been configured to perfectly fit the Rose Garden area at Haworth Park, and the spatial and sensory qualities of Lumini will complement / enhance the programme inside as part of the Connecting Cultures festival.
