Eléonore de Valera composes the wires first, and then the bulbs, one by one in simple lines, in a signature chromatic style — finally revealing the succession of bulbs that constitutes Sarfatti’s delectable piece.
Melancholia Mirror by Eléonore de Valera
L'animation d'Eléonore de Valera a pour sujet le « Melancholia Mirror » de François Bauchet, un objet qui doit son nom à la gravure éponyme d'Albrecht Dürer. Dans les nombreuses facettes sérigraphiées du miroir, des motifs abstraits apparaissent, ainsi que la suggestion d'une silhouette figurative dans la partie inférieure du miroir : la forme à peine esquissée du visage de Dürer.
L'objet apparaît ainsi comme un portrait et un autoportrait, changeant sans cesse avec le déplacement des perspectives. Tout en contenant la marque permanente de la présence de Dürer, le miroir évoque également les reflets fugaces d'observateurs de passage - les deux s'entremêlant pour un instant seulement.
Eléonore de Valera traduit ce sentiment de fugacité par un mouvement réel, avec ses lignes graphiques et son lavis violet caractéristiques.

London Calling by Rohan Mudgal
Rohan Mudgal’s animation gives a nod to our London space by focusing on Konstantin Grcic’s recognizable piece ‘London Calling'.
Inspired by the iconic Routemaster double-decker buses that used to frequent London, the piece pays homage to the narrow staircase at their back which connected the lower and upper decks.
"I vividly remember countless travels across town, sitting upstairs in the front row, and watching London’s big city lights as they passed by below me. Of course, LONDON CALLING is not about bus travel. However, the title evokes fond memories I have for the city I once lived in” K.G.
In Rohan’s animation, as the oak elements circle, it feels almost as though we are walking up the stairs to the top deck to see the view.
Quobus 1,2,4 by Rohan Mudgal
Rohan Mudgal’s second animation features the monochrome blue modular bookshelf from Marc Newson's 'Quobus' series.
The animation highlights the playful aspect of the Quobus shelves, deconstructing them even further than just their separate modules; groove by groove, and flat surface by flat surface. Rohan's imagery, paired with his original sound design, sweeps us into a tranquil whirlwind as if in a dream. As the elements come together, the final shot depicts the inherent versatility of the shelves, showing how they can be used to hold just about anything.

P9 Collection by Acil & Pierre
In this animation, the Parisian duo Acil & Pierre re-imagines Virgil Abloh’s ‘P9’ bench, transforming the piece’s concrete surface into shifting blocks of colour. Set against an original, rhythmic sound composed by Onthegrill studio, the ‘P9’ bench becomes graphic and dynamic, melding the urban quality tied to Abloh’s piece with a digital edge.
Snake Mirror by Acil & Pierre
Through the duo's imaginative lens, Jean-Baptiste Fastrez’s ’Snake Mirror' comes to life as the eponymous reptile — writhing with alternating colours.
The undulating shape of the mirror paired with the animation of the image highlights the sinuous curves of the snake — which themselves are beautified by the small tiles of colour representing Fastrez’s use of mosaic.
2042 Collection by Acil & Pierre
Acil & Pierre put a spin on one of the most iconic lamps of the mid-century: Gino Sarfatti’s ‘2042’ ceiling light (1963). Composed of spheres that are contained within a cloud-like structure, the lamp is a testament to Gino Sarfatti’s predominant creative principle: the mission to create ‘rational lighting’. Here, Sarfatti’s ‘2042’ model is made to twist and turn in rhythmic cadence, brought to life by the digital work of Acil et Pierre. It is shown in all its beauty, simplicity and practicality — dancing away to shuffling hues.

Frozen Hogweed Square Table by Sirai Bucarelli
Sirai Bucarelli has composed a mythological story that gives life to Studio Wieki Somers’ ‘Frozen Hogweed Square Table’. Through Sirai’s animated narrative, one is able to retrace the story of Daphne and Apollo, manifested in the final form of a tree. The animation is accompanied by a beautiful, dreamlike melody composed by Ruben Sonnoli.
Knots and Beads Curtains by Sirai Bucarelli
In this episode, Sirai animates Hella Jongerius’ beautiful ‘Knots & Beads’ curtain. Hella’s delicately woven piece is re-imagined through the mythological story of Glauco, son of Poseidon. Born a fisherman, Glauco one day notices that when the fish eat a specific herb they live again — he thus tries the magical plant and becomes an immortal aquatic figure himself. Hella’s beaded veil opens and closes the story of this transformation, like a cyclical and immersive tide.
Panta Rhea by Sirai Bucarelli
Taking inspiration from Tatiana Trouvé’s golden necklace Panta Rhei — meaning 'everything flows' in Ancient Greek — Sirai’s third animation shows a river morphing into various shapes. A flower gives way to a female head, whose contours dissolve into leaves, transforming into a cell, a snail, a shell and a volcano, until finally returning to the original form of Tatiana’s necklace. Evocative of the words of Heraclitus, who stated that you cannot step into the same river twice, Sirai’s animation is also a visual testament to the adage that 'everything flows'.
