Projet Replica, phase 1, a Lamp (D: 40cm or 80cm)
first exhibited in Tokyo, 2007 in the Prototype exhibition / www.superprototype.net
second exhibition in Milano, 2008, Designer's block in the piscina argelati


Having a interest for the Mnemosyne work of Aby Warburg, I feel that we all have a subconscious memory of shapes coming from everyday used objects, travels, medias,... And since sometimes I feel myself, as a designer, surrounded and overwhelmed by objects that try to attract my attention, grab my hands, I started this Replica project. In the Replica's world, I immediately thought of Teddy bears that are replicating the world. In English the funny meaning of the expression "stuffed animal" let me think about Replica in this way: Replica will start to replicate objects stuffing them, making new soft useable stuffed objects.
Phase 1 lampe.
replicated object: Donburi bowl 2 times.
material: Nylon parachute cloth, survival blanket, zipper, stuffing material.
