James Irvine / The Vitamin bar / 2003 / for De-Lighted by Corian® - FuoriSalone - Milano |
In an attempt to encourage designers to see the commercial possibilities of the interaction
between Corian® and light, DuPont commissioned three influential designers – Ross
Lovegrove UK), James Irvine (UK) and Marc Newson (Australia) – to create installations on
this theme for a special off-fair event to be presented in Milan in 2003. The three resulting
designs were as diverse as they were inspiring: Lovegrove created an organically-shaped
“floor” consisting of layer upon layer of different coloured Corian®; Irvine’s illuminated
circular “Vitamin Bar” changed colour and mood in an instant; and Newson’s “Diode” lamps
were a playful forest of jewel-like “lollipops”. A further installation capturing major attention
in 2003 was the “Loftcube” by Werner Aisslinger (Germany), a modern, hi-tech interpretation
of mobile homes, shown for the first time at Design Mai exhibition in Berlin. |
