When people ask me to go out.

[quotespile]

We pass through the present with our eyes blindfolded. We are permitted merely to sense and guess at what we are actually experiencing. Only later when the cloth is untied can we glance at the past and find out what we have experienced and what meaning it has.

Light Light Desk |  Torafu Architects

Torafu Architects’ Light Light Desk is a compact and functionally minimal solution to reduced space living. The seamless transition between overhead lighting element and folding table surface is quite ingenious. Made from a light aluminium framework, with an integrated LED light panel, this piece sees a flat-packed table, fold out into functional a table, with integrated lighting that allows for ease of storage and transportation. Pushing the envelope of the expected, this piece works to bring value to an otherwise cumbersome and bulking furniture piece.

Headed by Koichi Suzung and Shinya Kamuro and based in Tokyo, Japan, Light Light Desk was designed out of collaboration with Swiss manufacturing company WOGG. The combining of forces was instigated by Pierre Keller of Swiss design school ECAL and Patrick Reymond, cofounder of Atelier Oï, but asking the two to spend five days at each others workshops. The resulting product showcases a beautiful celebration of Japanese design and Swiss engineering. Undeniably a quite perfect match.

The Sculpted Wire Figures of  Roberto Fanari

Working with varying weights of iron wire, Italian artist Roberto Fanari constructs life-size figurative sculptures of both people and animals, applying the material like the strokes of a pencil to vary the density throughout each work. Some figures are almost wholly transparent, allowing for only a handful of lines to define the volume of a leg or torso while shifting to a more solid approach for the area around an eye or a thick tuft of hair, giving each each piece an almost ghostly, unfinished appearance. Fanari debuted a number of his wiry pieces at White Noise Gallery for a 2016 exhibition titled “Ferro,” (Iron) and you can see more of his work here.  Thanks Colossal

Manual Collection |  Agata Bieleń’s

Agata Bieleń’s Manual Collection is a series of articulated graphic artworks, as an extension of her process and aesthetic as a designer. Trained as an interior designer and architect, she is known for the impeccably minimal and considered subtleness of her jewellery collections. Her collections are lines in space, but her process based on a core of sketch is always first; hence these Point Line and Dot Work collections. The emphasis on simplicity and its connection to beauty is clear in all her works, and even more so in these pieces. Her ethos whereby beauty is the harmony of purpose and form, she is adamant about stopping moments, catching deep breaths and operating with simple means. In all aspects of what it embodies to be minimal, Bieleń is a living and breathing honest version of it, and her work, a seamless extension of that brand.

The concept for this collection isn’t notional, or themed, instead it is a pure experimentation of her process where she wants the pieces to defend themselves, and for everyone to find something in them, their own individual story. Emphasis is on the process of contemplation, dot after dot, line after line, ink on paper, honestly and naturally. The resulting Manual Collection sees a series of dots and lines that are connected, through space, through thought and time; incredibly minimal and beautiful.

Founded in 2010, Agata Bieleń has created an incubator of thoughtfulness and restraint. Her play on lines in space, and as objects to wear as a form of expression, manifests in some beautiful moments. This Collection was envisaged for use by interior space creators and users alike, to aid in individuality pairing of space and style. Varied, subtle and beautiful, these pieces add incredible value to space, as an extension of a minimal all-encompassing philosophy.

Michihiro Matsuoka

Michihiro Matsuoka’s sculptures are made primarily of industrial resin and resin clay. The springs, nuts, bolts, and other bits and pieces of worn-out machinery give his hybrid animals their signature steampunk look. They’re given an acrylic finish which mimics a chipped and battered look. Some of Michihiro’s steampunk animals have movable parts. His work has had twenty-five exhibitions throughout Japan. He lives and works in Ichinomiya-shi, Aichi, Japan. TXT
