About the Item

The work employs the skeleton of a bridge to reconstruct an industrial light that materializes light, refocusing the everyday out-of-focus ordinary objects in the cabin of a fictional spaceship. As we accept the services of large industrial equipment to which we are accustomed without actually knowing them, we forget and even overlook a lot in the landscape. About the Artist: Cometabolism Studio is a design studio based in Shanghai, founded by Zhang Ning and Yang Yafei. Zhang Ning graduated from the designer maker program at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London. The direction of her work explores the entangled relationship between objects and human behavior. Yang Yafei graduated from the Department of Oil Painting of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and Furniture Design at Central Academy of Fine Arts China. His works often use industrial readymades to blur the definition of objects and play with the idea of power of public space, attempting to derive industrial production relations through ready-made industrial components. The duo have collaborated on several art and design projects as long-time friends and expect to rethink the creative process under the ruins of the post-industrial heritage. In 2020, they established Cometabolism Studio to explore the possibility of reactivating mass-produced industrial metabolites such as industrial components and blurring their function in space, allowing art to intervene in everyday space. At the same time, through digital generation and other technologies, they explore undefined art objects that can blur the border between the real and the virtual.

Freno - Contemporary Handmade Light Adjustable Floor Lamp by Caio Superchi
By Superchi Studio
Located in Lisbon, Lisboa
The challenge was: How to rethink something that changed an entire industry and transform it into a functional design piece? From the first ones made of wood to modern ceramics , in between there is the steel brake. A mechanism so widely used that we allow ourselves to almost forget it. Using design to pay homage to function is the answer to the challenge. "Freno" is born out of the desire to adapt a motorcycle steel brake to a lamp. The brake maintains its purpose by acting as a stopping mechanism for the magnetic wooden clamp...
