In 2026, metal has ceased to be solid. We present Liquid Metal Interior Accents—decorative elements based on gallium alloys and magnetic fluids. At Reception Space, we create installations that change shape in real-time, reflecting guest movements and the building's rhythm. This is the 'Terminator' aesthetic, tamed to create a hypnotic and futuristic image for your lobby. We explore how metal physics transforms into top-tier art.
The Gallium Revolution: Metal That Lives at Room Temperature
2026 technology utilizes eutectic gallium alloys that remain liquid at temperatures above 15-20°C and are completely non-toxic (unlike mercury). In a Reception Space lobby, these alloys are sealed in transparent polymer capsules or circulate through open channels in reception desks. Under the influence of weak electrical pulses, the metal changes surface tension, creating an effect of 'shivering silver.' This is design that literally breathes and pulses.
Ferrofluid Sculpting: Magnetic Choreography
The dance of black gold
In 2026 projects, we use ferrofluids—magnetite nanoparticles in an oil base. At Reception Space, they become part of interactive paintings. Magnetic coils hidden behind the surface cause the fluid to arrange itself into complex needle-like structures and patterns, reacting to a person's proximity. This creates the effect of 'living matter' reaching out to you, turning a building entrance into a captivating performance. Metal becomes more plastic than ever before.
