Kriskadecor's Chain Facade for Disney Store

Kriskadecor has designed a facade for Disneyland Paris's new store, "Disney Glamour," using an aluminium chain system that draws inspiration from Mary Blair's iconic "it's a small world" artwork.

The facade reinterprets Blair's graphic style with a KDO Fixed System made of epoxy-coated aluminium chains. Measuring 14.66m wide by 5.8m high, the design uses blue, gold, and white to mirror Blair's palette and geometric motifs.

Kriskadecor stated the chains recreate patterns inspired by Blair's collage-like approach, evoking international silhouettes. The composition uses five colours to honor Blair's artistic language.

The facade's appearance changes with light throughout the day, becoming a visual landmark in the retail district. It offers privacy externally while allowing visibility and natural ventilation internally.

The system is designed to reduce solar heat gain and improve thermal comfort. Aluminium ensures the chains are corrosion-resistant and recyclable, aligning with sustainability principles.

The facade system was tested for wind pressure resistance, and its flexible design allows for straightforward installation and maintenance. Kriskadecor's facade solutions are customizable in size, form, and color.
