Throwback Tuesday | Venice Biennale exhibition 2014
Project with Peter Tay Studio.
This installation by Peter Tay Studio entitled “Reflection(s)” explores the duality and interchangeability between architecture and interiors, as well as the relationship between reflection(s), the body and space.
The installation comprises a small enclosure encased with transparent tinted acrylic walls containing a indoor garden filled with silver river pebbles and Gervasoni 1882 Log Stools within a room with the walls darkened. The furthest end of the room is finished in mirrored panels, and on the other, a simple bench.
Reflection(s) is both an exploration and an interrogation. The exploration of the multiple meanings and depths of the phenomenon of reflection(s) and the body, and at the same time, it is an interrogation of the boundaries and relationships between architecture and interior design, the interchangeability between exterior and interior spaces, as well as the perceptions of our existence in time and space.

A casting method used since ancient times
The Japanese brand Futagami is one of the oldest metal foundries, originally founded for making traditional Buddhist artifacts, and has grown to be a very successful homeware brand. It maintained its focus on high quality, handmade brass products that last a lifetime.
Futagami objects are made from solid Brass, which is an alloy made out of copper and zinc. Throughout an extensive process Futagami seeks for the perfect balance between colour and durability.

Hope Suspension Light from Yamagiwa
Named after the brilliant 45 carat diamond that inspired its sophisticated, dazzling design. Available in three diameters (24", 28" and 43"), the Hope Suspension Light is made from a series of thin polycarbonate prismatic Fresnel lenses, which create a refractive effect similar to glass, but without the bulk and weight.
Designed by Francisco Gomez Paz and Paolo Rizzatto for Luceplan, the high tech Hope Suspension is incredibly lightweight and easy to assemble. Its ability to multiply the warm white light makes Hope at once glamorous, awe-inspiring and truly sublime.
Available for order at Sanctuary Niseko

SYSTEM X MODULAR LIGHTING by Ross Lovegrove
System X, which he designed for Yamagiwa is a modular lighting system composed of flexible fluorescent X’s that can be linked with other X modules to create a modern and sculptural lighting system for any interior space. Imagine the possibilities, you can link as many or as few X modules both horizontally and vertically to cover entire walls, ceilings and even connect the X’s together to form circles of different sizes.
Each X module uses two T4 21W fluorescents and can be connected to an optional dimmer to “create zones of different temperatures of light in collective or singular modules.”
