Art in Sihlcity

Sihlcity has everything for life, art included. The building complex became a museum overnight after various well-known contemporary artists were invited to realise their own projects in Sihlcity. Art is now everywhere to be seen. You can read about all the artworks here:

Where: Spiral Staircase Mall
Who: atelier oï. Founded in 1991 in La Neuville. Multidisciplinary studio for architecture, interior design, product design and scenography.
What: «Helicoïdales», 2021. Wooden installation made of pine. The artwork emphasizes Sihlcity's connection to the nature of the Sihlraum. The spiral-shaped compartments made of wood are arranged in a staggered manner like the branches of a tree and rotate gently in circles due to the air in the room.
