King's Folly by Ivan Venkov

in , , ,

“King’s Folly” an object by Slovakian artist and sculptor Ivan Venkov. Theme is polarity and statement – exploitation.

The composition polarizes the pure natural element, which resonates in black sculpt of the deer and the golden manifestation of allegorical cabinet, which aggregates elements of mundane ravishment.

Young Deer is landing on its front legs, whilst his body is drawn up in the motion of running, the body is cut in half and in the cut, a richly ornamented golden cabinet resides. The natural element presented in the deer does not fight the artificial parasitic presence of the golden cabinet. Its statement is infinite quietness.

Deer’s motion is eternal, the body is corrupted, but the principle carries the motion endlessly.

Silhouette and eclipse levitating lamps

in

Crealev company, creators of the levitating lamp, have designed two new floating lamps.

Silhouette lamp The lamps levitate and illuminate thanks to the latest LED and electromagnetic technology, which also means they are extremely low in power consumption. Available in two dimmable models, Silhouette and Eclipse, the Silhouette design is based on the iconic table lamp and contrasts ultramodern technology with an almost antique appearance.

Eclipse lamp The Eclipse, with a straight-sided shade and solid geometric form, is most reminiscent of this natural levitating phenomenon when viewed from above "yet, delicacy is incorporated in the design through the hand-blown glass foot."
