PROJECTS

Alive Light Obsession was an alive show that was constantly changing by adding captured images of all sunrises everyday during the show. Have you ever been in the place between the dreams and the sunrise? The magic place where night and day are joined together, the step between darkness and lightness, those magic twenty minutes where the light is constantly changing at imperceptible speed.

Behind the Wall is an intriguing two sided piece of furniture that is both wall and sofa. It offers a comfortable sitting area that becomes playful when users interact from both sides of the wall. Movement, sound and touch hint at what might be happening on the other side.

Behind the Wall was created for “Disturbance”, an exhibition at the Great Eastern Hotel in London in May 2006.

Less Lamp is a sealed lamp shade that needs to be broken in order to release the light trapped within. The shell is cracked using a specially designed hammer. The user decides the appearance and position of the hole depending on how much light is required and where it is to be directed.

Less Chair is the act of physically achieving less chair by chopping

a useless found chair into 43 bits. Each chair bit was pre-defined

and numbered and then sold for £1. Less always implies more.

Print your own food Rapid prototyping technologies are currently printing 3D chocolate figures from 3D computer files. I explored the hypothesis of a computerized future without kitchens in our homes. Make your selection on the internet and print your food.

Don’t Get Lost One week Vitra workshop ran by El Ultimo Grito at the villa of Boisbuchet in France. I explored the act of getting lost and proposed experiences that enabled us to see far into the distance - above the visual obstacles such as buildings and trees.

Wallfa is an intriguing two sided piece of furniture that is both wall and sofa. It offers a comfortable sitting area that becomes playful when users interact from both sides of the wall. Movement, sound and touch hint at what might be happening on the other side.

Shade is a stretchy, 6x6 meters portable canopy that reshapes itself from within when the printed pattern is pushed from the inside. It unfolds out of a hand luggage bag and it could be installed anywhere to define a space and hide activities from the outside. The space inside radiates a white, comfortable and intimate atmosphere.

Dripping Light is a lamp/installation piece in which black paint slowly drips onto a big spherical lamp. The dripping machine turns around the centre of the lamp at one revolution per day so that the drips fall on top of the lamp and slide down the sides, gradually shading the light at imperceptible speed.

Wallfa is the development of “behind the Wall” (project bellow) to become more of a product piece. This prototype can be seen at Exhenge Towers in Canary Warf, London.

An Editiion of Less Lamp is being made. It will be shown and sold sold at Do Masters, an exhibition with other RCA graduates in a shop in Soho and also at the Super Design Market in South bank during the London Design festival 07. It is also on sale online, contact me for more details.

Dripping Light was created for “Sleepless”, an exhibition at the Great Eastern Hotel in London in May 2007. It will be dripping again during the London Design Festival together with some new dripping experiments at “Gradual”.

Alive Light Obsession is an installation produced for Reflexus, an exhibition where Ingo Maurer invited 12 young designers to think about his work at Center of Arts Santa Mònica in Barcelona in 2001.

Share Hat Our social lives are defined by the people we know. “Share” celebrates our relationships by transforming the standard and personal form of a hat to accommodate several wearers at once. This multiplication of function represents the way we integrate within social groups. A space that was invisible, but existing intuitively becomes both visible and humorous. It represents the umbrella of our everyday conversations.
