At Beyond Object, an exhibition at Salone Satellite during Milan Design Week 2013, several works by Poetic Lab + Studio Shikai were presented including ‘Ripple’, a project that combines light, shadow and glass.
“Ripple is a project studying the beauty of nature glass texture.” say the designers. “While a focus beam of light projected through a gently rotating mouth-blown glass dome, shadow and light form a breathtaking, ever changing pattern, where the aesthetic goes beyond the material itself.”
Ripple is part of the Beyond Object collection, a series of objects that “are composed by light and shadow with an uncertainty of their external forms, which blurs the physical boundary of things, allowing viewers’ mind go beyond the objects and wonder around the poetic sensation.”
