HHyyddrroo SSeerriieess

"As the name implies these new designs for Artemide relate to my research into the hydrodynamics of water andthe organic surface qualities that promote the reflective articulation of light. They are true to my work in the waythe surfaces have been generated via digital contemporary means; translating the abstract forces of nature and herbeauty into every day space enhancing light fittings".

Mercury suspensionRoss Lovegrove 2008

Mercury suspension

halogen source• 2 x 200W (R7S/T3) supplied.............

“A ceiling fixture that places a floating assembly of largepebbles below a simple modern aluminum disc. These in turnreflect each other, bouncing light between their taughtbio-morphic surfaces and reflecting the environment aroundthem. During the day, the piece acts as a sculptural objectreflecting the dynamics of natural light and movement ofpeople around them.”
