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. |
