24.11.11 - 14.01.12 Daphna Laurens: "Cirkel" |
The new pieces designed by Daphna Laurens and presented in the ‘Cirkel’ exhibition are all based on the same shape: the circle.
‘Fantasy embellishes the object by encircling it, and, as it were, illuminating it from within with those precious images of which it reminds us or to which we feel an instinctive connection.’ Luigi Pirandello, 1904.
The two designers tested their ideas by playing with this elementary shape for months in their studio in Eindhoven thus producing their preliminary drawings. Basic forms and lines inspired them. Bauhaus and Russian constructivism were one of their sources of inspiration.
