ADVANCED DIPLOMA IN INTERIOR DESIGN AWARDS FOR 2022 Roche Bobois Furniture Design Competition 2022 PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Design a luminaire, with a new source of light. Sustainable materials must be given priority, and upcycling can offer an opportunity to develop new craftsmanship techniques in collaboration with local craftspeople. The narrative function was equally important for a lighting object as for any other design object, and the “Holy Grail” lies in the perfect balance of beauty and efficiency in a single piece of design: the light not only needed to foster visibility, but also n e e d e d to create a story and occupies our space for the pleasure of both the eye and the spirit.
