The kinetic installation is named Enagua after the Latin-American garment that gives volume and fullness underneath a dress.

Kaynemaile worked with American artist Ned Kahn on a unique kinetic installation as part of the new Playa Vista development in Los Angeles. The thirty-metre-tall kinetic installation wraps itself around the parking complex facade — connecting the streetscape to the various access points and the upper floors of the surrounding buildings. The kinetic installation is named Enagua after the Latin-American garment that gives volume and fullness underneath a dress. The rippling Kaynemaile ribbons resemble billowing fabric.

The design of the installation evolved through extensive collaboration between Kaynemaile, Ned Kahn and his team and the project architects Johnson Fain of Los Angeles—a unique concept that Kaynemaile is proud to have realized.
