XY 180 | OMA
Architect OMA has combined fluorescent rods with spotlights to create this linear lighting collection, presented by Belgian brand Delta Light during Milan design week.
The three-piece XY 180 collection is designed around a hinged fixture that allows different elements to be moved and connected together, so luminaires can be arranged in variety of geometric patterns.
The lighting is intended to reference OMA's architecture, in particular, the Dutch studio's "fascination with point, line and surface".
Dimmable tube lights create ambient lighting, while two different types of spotlight create more directed beams of light.
SF Senses of the Future | Tokujin Yoshioka
A glowing wall that gently pulsates and chairs that showcase a spectrum of light and colour form the huge installation that Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka and LG have created in Milan.
SF Senses of the Future has won the Milano Design Award 2017 for best installation at Milan design week.
On show at Superstudio Più, the installation Wall of the Sun is made up of different dynamic lighting elements – all showcasing LG's OLED lighting technologies, which create illumination across an entire surface.
The floor area is taken up by 17 glowing chairs, arranged in a large grid.
Made from 15-millimetre-thick, dual-sided OLED panels, these chairs display a variety of light and colour effects, ranging from bright waves to colourful stripes.
Neon Scribbles | Cerith Wyn Evans
Almost two kilometres of neon lighting shaped into sharp lines and sweeping forms create this installation by Welsh artist Cerith Wyn Evans, which is suspended in the Tate Britain's Duveen Galleries.
Forms in Space... by Light (in Time) is a major new installation by Wyn Evans, created for the Tate Britain Commission and supported by auction house Sotheby's. The lighting is structured in three parts, emerging from a single neon ring before developing into a collection of three discs.
The forms appear as scribbles and rough drawings, similar to "light writing" with a torch captured by a DSLR camera on a slow-shutter-speed setting.
Jutting out from these tangled marks are sharper and more purposeful shapes and symbols, framing the perimeter of the forms. These maze-like lines are intended to mimic physical and kinetic gestures, like footsteps and folding material.
Wyn Evans describes these three forms as "occulist witnesses", referenced by artist Marcel Duchamp in his sculpture The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (The Large Glass) (1915-23), which was donated to the Tate's collection in 1975.
When walking through the long Duveen Galleries, the suspended sculptures appear to move with the viewer as the patterns created shift with their changing perspective.
Between the bursts of curves, loops and jagged straight lines, the suggestion of kinetics in the light sculptures reflects the artist's interest in choreology – the practice of translating movement into notational form. Wyn Evans also drew influence from the codified and precise movements of Japanese Noh theatre for Forms in Space.
Maruni’s Jasper Morrison Exhibition | Jasper Morrison
Maruni and Jasper Morrison displayed beautiful photographs of everyday objects, Maruni‘s furniture designed by Jasper Morrison along with an installation of ‘Aramono’, created by Norihiko Terayama of Studio Note (miscellaneous objects such as brooms, dustpans, … from Matsunoya, a wholesaler of daily tools in japan).
Unprinted Material | Nendo
Nendo has revisited its technique of creating sketch-like objects with a series of 3D-printed pieces that look like the outlines of paper.
The Un-printed Material exhibition is on at Tokyo's Creation Gallery G8, which is dedicated to visual communication. Because of this, Nendo wanted to tackle a medium used by graphic designers – in this instance, paper.
LDN/EDI | Frank Gerritz
Frank Gerritz has layered graphite for years and years using a Faber Castell 9B. Making marks on walls, paper and for this exhibition MDF. Each layer and stroke brings out a layer of depth in this minimal work.
Installation for Florim | SET Architects
An installation for Ceramic Manufacturer Florim using using wireframe spaces covered in black Juta made from vegetable fibre. The framework is easily created for different situations and combined with the Juta it makes interesting rooms to explore and be immersed in.
