11°14”N Sculptural Pendant by Yonathan Moore, Represented by Tueste Factory

Yonathan Moore is an Israeli architect and designer based in Brooklyn, New York. His first collection of light sculptures “Optical Monuments” is the culmination of a four year exploration into the optical qualities and sculptural possibilities of acrylic – a study on how different light phenomenons can be harnessed to communicate softness as well as provoke curiosity within us, and how universal forms can invite us to imagine our collective, untold histories. Yonathan began designing his sculpture series at the Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation ("GSAPP") workshop in New York where he graduated with an M.Arch degree. Rooted in his prior work and life experiences, Yonathan’s design methodology borrows from his photojournalism background in Tel Aviv, his education at the Architectural Association School in London and the Columbia GSAPP Program in New York, as well as time spent at global design firms such as SHoP and Marvel Architects. After winning the Collab & Dickies ‘Future Of Work’ Fellowship, Yonathan began production of the light sculptures in a local Brooklyn workshop using a range of digital and traditional fabrication methods. Each sculpture is bespoke and made by Yonathan.
