Lighting - Studio
Formafantasma – Foundation
The show at Spazio Krizia was
conceived as a display of studies and the groundwork for current and future
developments in the field of lighting. While the finished objects are formally
developed and define a new, more industrial direction for the studio, the
experiments demonstrate the duo’s intuitive and research-based process. The
lights, above, fitted with a crystalline, polycarbonate lens suspended under a
LED light source, are designed to cast a perfect round reflection on the floor.
When using the very symbol of sculptural materials — bronze — the designers
apply its most basic characteristics: weight and reflectiveness. In this way,
‘Foundation’ highlights the studio’s consistent focus on rethinking object
typologies through material investigations.

Elements,
which at first appear sculptural, reveal a specific intent on closer
inspection. Responding to the lack of color saturation during the winter
months, the designers created three objects which cast brightly-tinted
reflections on walls, through the use of layered dichroic glass.

Jochen Holz – Cumuli
Cumuli
designed by Jochen Holz is a neon light installation using free blown,
oversized borosilicate tubing to create a unique immersive light environment. Like luminous clouds, the organically shaped
wide diameter neons emit a mesmerizing fluffy light and subtle changes of tonal
reflective qualities.

– OOO- Out of Order - Atelier Robotiq
Out Of Order
is a series of light fixtures, which is the result of a collaboration between
BCXSY and Atelier Robotiq. For this collaboration the two design studios
envisioned scenarios wherein the main character, a fiber-winding robot, gets
bored of winding fiber pattern lamps all day, and drifts away to explore its
own creativity. The result is the OOO - Out Of Order light, which starts with a
balanced fiber pattern, and slowly runs out of order creating a chaotic pattern
from the robot’s mind.

Piet Hein Eek – Past and Future Collection
Veronese
Piet Hein
Eek, the Dutch designer with a mastery of upcycling used spare parts of hand
blown glass from the 1931 established Veronese factory. The designer dreamed up
a Meccano like principle of 40cm clear glass tubes, equipped with LED lighting.
The tubes can be assembled to create a longer chandelier. Each segment carries
a metal disc into which the fantastically diverse jewel -like spare parts can
be slotted – an eclectic feast of styles and colors.

Giopato and Coombes – Lace
A light,
elegant glass chain joined by metal rings with a matte gold-plated finish that
contain the light source, an LED strip. An absolutely free structure in the
composition, reflecting the great skill behind the workmanship and design of
the individual parts. The name suggests the delicacy of the typical lace of the
island of Burano, interpreted in glass.
