Immersive Horizon “Breathing Planet” – the next chapter in wellness design?

Commissioned by Thermengruppe Josef Wund, the Immersive Horizon “Breathing Planet” installation, brought to life through the artistry of Marshmallow Laser Feast, the spatial design expertise of atelier 522, and the sensory innovation and research of White Mirror, creates an immersive environment where architecture itself inhales and exhales, inviting visitors to attune their bodies to the natural cycles of the planet.

Inside Immersive Horizon, guests step into a transformative environment where a mirrored floor and bespoke chrome surfaces dissolve the boundary between body and space, and breathing is guided by sensory stimuli and evidence-based breathing patterns. This is informed by, and incorporates NASA climate data of Earth’s air circulation, which shapes the rhythm of the experience – pulses of light and sound immerse visitors into planetary coherence.

By blending art, science, and technology, Immersive Horizon ‘Breathing Planet’ offers guests the opportunity to slow down, regulate, and connect with themselves, with others, and with the planet.
