London, a colorful pyramid celebrates the LGBT movement and the return to conviviality

In London, near King’s Cross Station, a large, colorful pyramid has appeared for Pride Month: it is the Pride Little Pyramid, an installation created by designer Adam Nathaniel Furman that will remain placed there throughout the summer.

The colorful structure is surrounded by seating, and the author hopes that people will return to the area and that the work will bring joy and happiness to them. “The idea was to create something that was monumentally joyful,” said the designer. “It is a fun monument and above righem, almost an anti-monument.”

More than nine meters tall, the pyramid featuring Furman’s typical colorful, geometric and pop motifs is meant to celebrate the LGBT movement and inspire a conviviality somewhat lost due to the pandemic and the restrictions associated with it. Built on the recycled structure of a Christmas tree, it features all around a mirrored base with four corner towers for use as seating. The mirrored plinth reflects the surrounding environment and its colors, resulting in ever-changing decorations.

Furman was inspired by the industrial architecture around the pyramid, the shapes reproduced are derived from Victorian architecture with a reference to the local context, and at the apexes, four cute emoji refer to joy and inclusion.

The pyramid is the first project created as part of Furman’s six-month art residency in the well-known London neighborhood.
