COSMOTIK JUNGLE

Posted on by Carla Lopez

Jaime Hayon’s first solo exhibition at L21 proposes a journey through a jungle populated by fantastic animals. The journey inside and outside the large canvases flows naturally, organically and pleasantly. In some, strange yet familiar beings appear, with athletic bodies and a friendly appearance, surrounded by a flora brimming with loose strokes and explosive colours. In others, from flower vases sprout vegetation
so sinuous that it seems liquid, as it climbs up the uniform background of the canvas. The sculptures function as counterpoints or sounding boards. The echoes between the works which Hayon orchestrates multiply in the gallery space. And a fabulous harmony reigns in his exuberant creative universe.

EXPLORER DINING TABLE BY BD BARCELONA DESIGN

Posted on by Carla Lopez

As a continuation of the playful Explorer Table series and following its elegant beauty, we are proud to introduce the new Explorer Dining Table, enhancing the sculptural identity of the collection and upgrading its function.

“Now more than ever we spend a lot of time in our homes eating, working and sharing moments. The explorer dining table was born from the idea of inclusion, eliminating the obstacles of the table by getting rid of the side legs, trying to create a spacious and comfortable space but being sculpturally strong at the same time, an iconic piece that can be admired” Jaime Hayon.

AHEC’s CONNECTED project involved nine leading international designers, each challenged to create a table and seating for their personal use, to suit their new ways of living and working following the onset of Covid-19. This analysis responds to another key design objective in the post-Covid world, to ensure that products are demonstrably sustainable. When considered as a group, the CONNECTED designs are better than carbon neutral. The total global warming potential, often referred to as “carbon footprint”, of the nine CONNECTED designs is minus 342 kg of CO2 equivalent.

Carbon neutrality is achieved as the carbon stored int he wood used for the CONNECTED designs, together with a small offset due to use of process waste for energy production, exceeds all carbon emissions during the extraction, processing and transport of raw materials, manufacturing at Benchmark and delivery of the finished designs to the London Design Museum.

IKERU for Fritz Hansen

Posted on by Carla Lopez

Inspired by the ancient art of Japanese flower arranging – known as ikebana or ikeru –to create a set of new, unconventional vases exclusively for Fritz
Hansen.

The designs are transparent and direct in their intention to honour every flower placed within them. The task of flower arranging is slowed down and simplified, for deep appreciation and presence of mind. Nature is at the core of this design.

Metal flutes hold individual flowers for a full appreciation of every flower from stem to crown. Together, the flutes of different heights create a ‘landscape’ from which the flowers rise. Water in the glass trays below keep flowers fresh. With blossoms or with greenery, Ikeru vases are an invitation to appreciate nature or to share the feeling with others.
