-Sphaerae is the name of an inflatable design. A set of bubbles where people can meet in various circumstances. +Sphaerae is a collision of soapbubbles. It's a semitransparant lightweight platform which can transform itself into various settings. Its a place; which can play with the parameters of light, sound, vibration and projection, with the inside and the outside. It can perform; as a set of climate- or smell controlled chambers, as a mobile greenhouse or as a place for deep dive chocolate lovers. It can provide syneasthetic explorations or dark mountain contemplations.

 Bubbles meet each other by a semitransparant dividing membrane with a split(door). People can walk from chamber to chamber. The under cloth is white, and the upperlayers will be white-translucent. Bubbles meet each other by a semitransparant dividing membrane with a split(door). People can walk from chamber to chamber.
