DESIGN NAME: Isadora
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Artistic Lighting
INSPIRATION: The human figure in various positions and moods - crouching , leaning, vaulting like an acrobat and more – inspires Luminaria serie. ‘Isadora’ is an homage to the divine Isadora Duncan (1878-1927), considered the creator of modern dance.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Luminaria sculptures – realized in resins of diverse chromatic hues and saturation – embody the human figure draped as anthropomorphic shapes in changing postures. These sculptures become lamps, a poetic object of art design brought into being from an original clay sculpture. ‘Isadora’ evokes the artistic freedom and the poetics of amazing dancer Isadora Duncan. Made in limited edition.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Lamps-sculptures that light up the emotions: outstanding and artistically inspired objects that introduce a caesura into everyday habits, calling forth a poetic dimension.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project has been developed in Italy between 2011-2012, in order to realize a prototype and a matrix.
The prototype has been exhibited in an installation at Palazzo Ferrero D’Ormea, Turin (November 2012) and at the Golden Palace Hotel (December 2012).

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: Luminaria sculptures become lamps, poetic objects of art design, brought into being from an original clay sculpture. They involve a long processing, starting from the sketch in clay, through the plaster model, until the resin matrix. Each edition is painted by hand and is unique. They are intended to subtly solicit the senses and emotions and fit to special spaces, public and private.
