A modern art installation made from Euro pallets has become a haven for readers. The structure was built in front of the library in Cleveland, USA. Artist Mark Reigelman intended the project to create a protected resting area where readers can pause and relax.
Art installation in the form of a nest
Mark Reigelman found inspiration for his art installation in nature and gave it the form of a bird’s nest. Pallets were used as the building material: the structure is made of stainless steel and covered with Euro pallets. The exterior was left untreated for a natural look, while the interior wood planks were oiled in a golden tone. The construction was assembled with 40,000 nails. It took a week to build, and the final result is impressive from every angle.
Art installation made of wooden pallets
The art installation by Reigelman is located in the small park in front of the library. The high walls protect visitors from the bustle of the big city and offer a quiet place to relax. At the same time, it looks like a modern sculpture that decorates the park. A doorway leads visitors into the nest and toward the library entrance. The project is influenced by architecture, design and ecological thinking.
