For her last animation, TP Vineeth looks at Pierre Charpin’s table light no. 28, from his ‘Oggetti Lenti’ (slow objects) series.

‘I have designed a collection of vases, lamps, boxes, centrepieces […] that are less well defined’, Charpin said of this series. Table light no. 28 typifies this statement, as it takes on a hybrid appearance, combining all mentioned typologies into a single object.

Signal F2 Monochromatic by Jens Mennicke

With Jens Mennicke’s first animation, looking at Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby’s ‘Signal F2 Monochromatic’ floor light.

Hieronymus Metal by Jens Mennicke

In this new animation, Jens sets Konstantin Grcic’s metallic ‘Hieronymus’ in a shimmering black desert - as if echoing the object’s otherworldly nature. Indeed, in his ‘Hieronymus’ collection Grcic asks us to reconsider our relationship to space: what makes a space intimate, pleasant or conducive to study? Here, Jens takes these reflections a step further by bringing Grcic’s hybrid seating-object in a space devoid of indications of space and time; as a result, one must imagine their own context for ‘Hieronymus’.

3-legged stool by Jens Mennicke

In Jens Mennicke’s third and final kreo in motion animation, Jasper Morrison’s emblematic stool forms from flowing drops of metallic liquid, into a solid three-legged structure. Morrison’s piece, materialising the archetypal form of the stool, is an exercise in simplicity. With ingenious mirror plays and rhythmic tones, Mennicke’s brings light to its essential design, deconstructing and constructing it in turn.

602 by Kirill Pyrev

To start off the series, Kirill has picked Cini Boeri’s beautiful table light from 1968.
