At the Palanga Summer Reading Room, an iconic example of Lithuanian organic modernism designed by architect Algimantas Čepys in 1966, our Soft Solids wax-and-light objects enter into dialogue with the architecture.

The pavilion’s transparent glass facade brings the works into the everyday life of the library by day and reveals their illuminated presence after dark. At its centre, a nearly 100-year-old oak tree grows through the architecture, connecting the interior with the surrounding landscape.

The curved roof of the Palanga Summer Reading Room echoes the waves of the Baltic Sea. This gesture of bending becomes a shared language between the architecture and the Soft Solids objects.

Arranged around the oak tree, modular wax-and-light STEM sculptures and biomorphic SCOOP wax objects introduce new organic forms, connecting material, architecture and landscape through light.

A pair of modular STEM sculptures, varying in height and wax blend, explore cycles of growth, renewal and regeneration. Each is cast from our specially developed natural wax blends, allowing subtle variations in translucency, texture and light.

The installation explores how objects crafted from natural wax and light can inhabit a modernist heritage space, revealing new relationships between the existing and the new.
