Watery Crowd Controls

The NERYLE Mobile Zoning Element Provides a Unique Way to Form Lines

— November 1, 2011 — Art & Design
To many people's dismay, cutting lines and dipping under velvet ropes isn't something new, but the NERYLE Mobile Zoning Element is a way to alleviate the problem. This unique crowd controller will surely keep people in line (pun intended) or else they will have to face the rather wet consequences.

Conceived and created by Lukas Waegli in collaboration with Burri AG and designer Joachim Epper,the NERYLE Mobile Zoning Element provides businesses with an almost foolproof way of avoiding any unwanted douchbaggery. Let's face it, there is no way that these men and women who feel entitled to getting into a restaurant or club before anyone else will risk destroying their carefully put together looks.

Like one long sprinkler, the NERYLE Mobile Zoning Element replaces the velvet rope with arching water jets.
Trend Themes
1. Water-based Crowd Control - Opportunities for innovative water-powered devices to control crowds in public spaces and events.
2. Mobile Zoning Elements - The use of mobile and easily adaptable zoning elements to control and guide crowds.
3. Innovative Crowd Management - Developing cutting-edge ways to create organized and efficient crowd control experiences.
