Daniel Rybakken – Secant Mobile – 2016 – J’Hills Standard

“The Secant project is about visual and semiotic contrast; the crystal disc communicates something pure, fragile and elevated in value, whilst the machined aluminum parts and the pulley communicate the industrial.”

Daniel Rybakken

The mobile moves in counter poise. When one disc is lowered or heightened, the other disc moves in the opposite direction. It is constructed from hand cut crystal glass discs, anodised aluminium and is connected together with a spliced rope. The mobile show the strength, utility and refractive qualities of glass used in a way that both builds on and usurps the tradition. It is lit from a single point above and functions both as an installation and light piece.

BCXSY - Si Light

“The Si light is an innovative flexible light. Literally.  It was inspired by the magical aesthetics of light paintings and the graceful dance of ribbon in rhythmic gymnastics. With its warm glow, the Si light introduces a whole new dimension to illumination, making it possible to alter the shape of light itself into any desired form.”
