VITALE
In the autumn of 2016, UDEM and MARCO Museum created a collaboration project in which provided an opportunity for us, as undergraduates to exploit our creativity, as we chose a designer whose work was going to be featured in the Lightopia exhibition. Granting us the chance to exhibit the prizewinning lamps in the museum as well.
Vitale was chosen by the museum´s critics to be showned. My inspirational designer was Joris Laarman as well as his lamp exhibited in Lightopia, “Half Life”. I chose him because I was perplexed by his work, he uses exuberant curve lines inspired in nature.
Vitale has a connection with an animal material, without hurting a living thing. Wool was used as a common denominator as Joris Laarman used hamster cells to recreate the bioluminescence process, since it´s a chemical process that´s generated in a body and it creates light, Vitale is based on this, and as a result, the lamp becomes the body and the light is the responsible for recreating life.
The design is made from wool, keeping not only the inspiration of nature but the physical essence of it. With light, it creates a connection with the living matter, like the running of the blood or the nerves from the brain. There is a connectivity with the light and the object.
“Vitale, recreates Life”
