Flynn's arcade designed by gwenael nicolas and fabricated by altha

French-born japan-based designer gwenael nicolas was responsible for an interpretation of the movie's flynn's arcade within the installation. he constructed 'brick walls' made from Corian® which were back lit, providing a cool light through the area. on the floor, large SONY bravia flat screen televisions were placed, playing scenes from the original TRON movie, acting somewhat as 'stepping stones' into the main showroom.
