South Africa Collectible Design White Ceramic Console Mirror Flux by Jan Ernst

About the Item

Jan Ernst is a multidisciplinary designer specializing in functional art and spatial design using clay as his main medium. The work is driven by his fascination with natural structures such as corals, fungi, and rock formations. His organic collectible designs stem from his abstract understanding of form and space influenced by his background in architecture, his connection with the natural world, and his South African heritage. The new Flux collection of ceramic lamps and smaller objects developed for Mia Karlova Galerie is inspired by Copepods. When you look at the water you see invisible creatures dancing. They are fascinating as they are able to transform quite rapidly and adapt to different environments. Wherever you place them – they adapt to the given surroundings. “I started researching them because of their form and adaptivity. The form is impressive, as they wear skeleton on the outside, and it looks almost like arms and a shield. They possess an ability to adapt and transform. Ocean is my true love and the place where I choose to spend a lot of time looking at the water and seeing these amazing creatures dancing” – Jan Ernst Flux explores the two-dimensional quality of microscopic imagery through sculptural interpretation. The collection includes table lamps using light as a tool to generate shadows and suggest movement of the copepods often observed as invisible dancers on water surfaces and a table mirror that mimics the reflective quality of water and introspection.
