CDS伦敦销售总监马克·威廉姆斯(MarkWilliams)表示：“莉莉·詹克斯是我见过的最有创意的人。她对空间和形式的理解确实具有启发性。SistemN瓷砖是一个美丽，但非常简单，低调的产品。我想，如果我们把这两者结合起来，我们就能产生一些独特的东西。“

Mark Williams, London Sales Director at CDS said: “Lily Jencks is the most creative person I have ever met. Her understanding of space and form are truly enlightening. The SistemN tile is a beautiful, but very simple, understated product. I thought that if we put the two together, we could produce something unique.”

他是对的。在与建筑师Nathanael dorent的合作下，莉莉创造了一个令人难以置信的引人注目的空间。

He was right. In collaboration with fellow architect Nathanael Dorent, Lily has created an incredibly striking space.

莉莉解释说，在安装过程中有两种想法：“一种是关于感知-你如何感知距离和形状；以及如何理解空间。另一个问题是如何展示待售的物品；我们想要的不仅仅是展厅出售瓷砖，而是重新思考商业交易，将其作为更具创造性的东西。“

Lily explains that there are two ideas within the installation: “One is about perception - how you perceive distances and shapes; and make sense of space. The other is about how to display an object that’s for sale; we wanted the space to be more than just a showroom selling tiles; to rethink the commercial transaction as something more creative.”

第一个想法是受Op艺术和格式塔心理学的启发。脉动创造了一种强化的观点，因此将吸引人们进入空间。纳撒内尔说：“我们决定使用一种尺寸和四种颜色的瓷砖系统。这只是一个简单的人字形图案，但我们已经将它应用于三维，以创造出真正令人眼花缭乱的东西。“莉莉补充道：“SistemN的有趣之处在于色彩的微妙范围。为了获得真正生动的令人兴奋的图案，我们以渐变的方式从黑暗走向黑暗，就像一个脉动波，这就是这个名字的来源。“

The first idea was inspired by Op Art and Gestalt psychology. Pulsate creates a sense of reinforced perspective and as a result will draw people into the space. Nathanael says: “We decided to use one system of tiles in one size and four colours. It’s just a simple herringbone pattern, but we’ve applied it in three dimensions, to create something really eye popping.” Lily adds: “What’s fun about the SistemN is the subtle range of colour. To get the really vivid exciting pattern, we go from dark to light to dark in a gradient, like a pulsating wave, which is where the name comes from.”

因为图案和结构是紧密相关的，所以有零容误差-如果结构改变了一毫米，图案就不能工作。因此，他们必须密切关注每一个细节，以使之恰如其分。

And because the pattern and structure are so tightly interrelated, there is zerotolerance for error – if the structure changed by even one millimetre, the pattern would not work. So they had to pay incredibly close attention to every detail to get it just right.

由此产生的空间将是一个“文化中心”。纳撒内尔说：“我们的想法是，商店不仅是一个实用的消费空间，而且更多的是关于建筑和冒险。地板是倾斜的，长凳是建在结构里的，所以你永远不知道你在看什么。人们可以坐下来讨论，躺在斜坡上，或者看产品。我们希望这将是一个不仅是销售，而且是交换信息的地方。九个月的时间足以让事情在这里发生。“2013年3月21日，发布会开始了一系列的活动，包括讲座、产品发布和时尚拍摄。”

The resulting space will be a ‘cultural hub.’ Nathanael says: “We had the idea of a shop not being only a functional space for consumption, but more about architecture and adventure. The floor is sloped, and benches are built into the structure, so you’re never really sure what you’re looking at. People can sit and have a discussion, lie on the slope, or view the product. We hope this will be a place where commerce will not only be about selling but about exchanging information. And nine months is long enough that things can really happen here.” A programme of events, including lectures, product launches and fashion shoots, starts with the launch event on 21st March 2013.

马拉齐的建筑师兼集团艺术总监吉安卢卡·罗西说：“我们对莉莉和纳撒尼尔的设计感到高兴-这是一件了不起的作品，我们对西斯泰姆被选中感到荣幸。”

Gianluca Rossi, Architect and Group Art Director, Marazzi said: “We are delighted with Lily and Nathanael’s design – it’s a fantastic creation, which we are honoured that SistemN was chosen for.”

马克威廉姆斯，CDS说：“脉冲推进的界限，什么是可能的瓷砖。通过将制造商和设计师联系起来，他们可以自由地思考，并探索瓷砖作为一种媒介的可能性，来创造他们喜欢的任何东西。这就是我对这次冒险的兴奋之处。希望这将是许多此类合作中的第一次。“

Mark Williams, CDS says: “Pulsate pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with tiles. By linking a manufacturer with a designer, they can think freely and explore the possibilities of the tile as a medium, to create anything they like. This is what has excited me about this whole adventure. Hopefully this will be the first of many such collaborations.”
