QUETZALCOATL

This project has been designed in commission for Kvadrat and is part of the Kvadrat Hallingdal 65 exhibition during Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2012

It offers an experimentation around the sculptural features of hammocks, inasmuch as they are suspended objects. In order to accomplish this, the fabric of which it is made is not treated as a two-dimensional surface, but as a three dimensional volume. A thousand fabric tubes are combined in order to give it its final shape. A traditional hammock is thus transformed into a thick pelt which is both welcoming and protective.

Year : 2012
Materials : Nylon / Wool

ALLPA, QUCHA, PACHA

Allpa, Qucha and Pacha are based on the same concept. They each have an identical large central receptacle. The distinctiveness of each vase comes from the way the smaller receptacles are repeated and fit onto the main central one. The combinatory principle is common to the three vases. It is the way in which the smaller containers are positioned and fit into the hollow of the bigger central part which distinguishes each vase and creates its character. Each model is like a bouquet of flowers. Seven connected vases are shaped into a “vase bouquet” that is ready to hold a unique and extravagant flower composition. The names Allpa, Qucha, and Pacha come from Inca mythology. They are the names of three goddesses: the goddess of fertility, with multiple breasts; the goddess of sowing and reaping; and the sea goddess, known as the “Mother of the sea”.
