Skyline Bump is a temporary intervention in the Skyline of Eindhoven.
Every evening during the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven a giant 30 meter high hot air balloon pops up in the skyline of Eindhoven. Its floats around for about half an hour staying there somewhere in between an upcoming artificial sun and a cheerful living dome.
Lucas Maassen was asked by Eindhoven 365 to build a big tower on the the Markt, the center square, in Eindhoven for the Dutch Design Week. The installation was part of the 'Unexpected Interactions' project (other participating designers: Maarten Baas, Nacho Carbonell, Kiki & Joost, La Boulleur).
