Designer: Benedetta tagliabue & Joana Bover
The integration of design, art and light in architecture dates back to a long time ago, and maybe this is the reason why lamps have gradually stop being just an item emitting light to become a light sculpture which confers a special personality to the product and its environment.
It is such the importance of light that any change on the item can alter the formal concept of the whole project. A sculpture may seem more or less static, depending on the light received.
Developing this project with Benedetta has allowed us to reflect on the art of lighting, on how to reinterpret light and on the creation of products with a more artistic approach and a less industrial look.
It has also allowed us to be swept away and do what we really like to do.
These light sculptures are completely handmade and they are entirely produced in the Bover Barcelona HQ. More than 170 big and small wood fragments are wisely intertwined and sewed one by one to end up in such a jigsaw puzzle.
