louis poulsen reveal oe quasi light, a new pendant light designed by olafur eliasson at milan design week 2019.

Apr 8, 2019

louis poulsen, world-renowned danish lighting brand, reveal their collaboration with danish-icelandic artist, olafur eliasson, on a new, large-scale pendant light at milan design week. inspired by the relation between mathematical forms, the oe quasi light uses geometry to shape light and reinforces louis poulsen and eliasson’s shared idea that good light = good life.

bright led lights are embedded at the vertices of the aluminum icosahedron, directing the light towards the lamp’s core: a white, inset pentagonal laminae made from polycarbonate. the light’s complex geometric shape is perceived differently depending on where the observer stands, creating endless interpretations and perspectives.

“i’m very excited to bring my longtime interest in geometry and light into this collaboration with louis poulsen to create the oe quasi light. what distinguishes it from so many lamps is that it shines in towards the core, from which the light is reflected back out onto the surroundings. in one form, the lamp combines precision in design with quality atmospheric lighting,” states olafur eliasson, artist.

the site-specific work, situated in milan’s 16th century palazzo isimbardi.

digitally designed and fabricated, conifera has been created from seven hundred interlocking modular bio-bricks, 3d printed in a mix of wood and bioplastic. aiming to be one of the largest structures to date conceived and realized using this method, conifera reflects a new generation of architecture, showcasing advances in material innovation, technology and creativity.

the site-specific installation is formed in modules that shift from a wood and bioplastic composite in the courtyard through to translucent bioplastic in the palazzo’s garden.

the installation marks cos’s eighth consecutive installation during salone del mobile and its first collaboration with mamou-mani.

dos – design open’ spaces: unlock your design passion. milan design week 2019

Apr 6, 2019

for the 2019 fuorisalone edition a new district model is born: without a specific territory, but widespread in different areas of the city and oriented to the redevelopment of forgotten spaces, never opened for the public, in milan design week history. the dos—project, design open’ spaces, created by the re.rurban and emilio lonardo studios in collaboration with the municipality of milan – social spaces development area and with the sponsorship of polytechnic of milan – design school, shows seven spaces located in six different areas “restored” and brought back to the city with a new look and new features, including renovation, design exhibitions and installations, a full calendar of day and evening events, ranging from live music to dj sets, tasting tours and cultural meetings.

the dos project, an organization from the synergistic collaboration between institutions and private actors, will take place in brera, porta genova, bovisa, tortona, isola, sarpi and porta nuova. the headquarters of the widespread district will be the dazio art cafè, one of the ancient buildings of the darsena, elected as an example of virtuous relationship between public administration and private. during the design week it will host many initiatives: a collective exhibition of emerging young designers, a co-working and media area, a bookstore, live shooting, outdoor spaces dedicated to food and a program of night events with the best party crews in town.

como-based atelier draga & aurel returns to salone del mobile this april with transparency matters, an immersive installation featuring the duo’s latest collection of art, furniture and lightings.

draga obradovic notes: “the title of the exhibition has a double meaning. transparency matters: for us, it is the most important attitude. it refers to the transparent materials used in the collection — cast resin, glass and plexy — as well as our evolutions as designers. from transparency, we think of transformation, transition, transgression, transnational: all words that describe us and our more than ten years of working together.”

the exhibition will take place in the heart of milan’s brera design district from tuesday 9 to sunday 14 april.

tom dixon is fat at restaurant the manzoni. milan design week 2019.

Apr 6, 2019

“there is nothing dustier than a conventional lighting and furniture showroom. but with the manzoni, people are able to experience our new collections in an active context.

tom dixon returns to milan after a year’s absence and rethinking how we can embed ourselves into the heart of italy’s commercial and cultural capital.

aptly named the manzoni, the new 100-cover restaurant has been created by tom’s design research studio. pre-opening at the beginning of april to coincide with milan design week, it will re-open after salone as a permanent restaurant and a showroom.

“we wanted to look at different ways of being present in milan. after years of doing 5-day exhibitions in milan, we finally decided that we had enough of putting such huge energy into pop-up interventions. with the city being so active and engaging right now, it is the right time to forget being temporary and build something permanent. just like in london, we don’t think it’s enough to just have a showroom. we need a place where people slow down and experience our products in a live setting.”
