Studio Swine and COS create sculptural tree that blossoms with mist-filled bubbles

Studio Swine has released a movie revealing its Milan design week installation for COS - a tree-like structure that emits pale white bubbles, which dissolve into pale white mist as they burst.
The London-based duo - Japanese designer Azusa Murakami and British designer Alexander Groves - wanted their installation to be reminiscent of cherry blossom trees.
Called New Spring, the six-metre high structure consists of slender tubes that extend up and out like the branches of a tree.
Large translucent bubbles emerge from the ends of each branch. These bubbles burst when they come into contact with skin, but not when they touch textured fabrics - meaning visitors can handle them with gloves.
As they burst, a pale mist is released.
Like many of Studio Swine's past projects - which include accessories made from hair and furniture produced from ocean plastic - the installation is an exploration of unusual materials.

It’s be great if they would make a video about how they did it. Really cool, but unleashing this awesome on the world would be way cooler than just another pretty video for UA-cam and agency promo...

Haunting... each orb slowly created, slow to decend and then either cared for or extinguished by sheer chance.
