CORIAN® AUCTION. MORE THAN 50 PRODUCTS AND INSTALLATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL DESIGN



 James Irvine / The Vitamin bar / 2003 / for De-Lighted by Corian® - FuoriSalone - Milano  previous next 
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.
