I don't know what it is, but I've been somewhat obsessed with orange lately. So naturally, I had to crack a smile when I came across this.

Faulders Studio, headed by architect Thom Faulders created this group of undulating orange waves to fit in with the new vision for Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive's central atrium gallery. Its purpose is to serve as a space to convene for lounging, watching live performances and film screenings. And it doesn't just look playful and light. The sculptures are 93% air, made of rigid foam structural substrate and laminated with painted plywood.

The result is a sea of orange happiness. Like Tang!
