Or2

Or2 is a single surface roof structure which reacts to sunlight. The polygonal segments of the surface react to ultra-violet light, mapping the position and intensity of solar rays. When in the shade, the segments of Or2 are translucent white. However when hit by sunlight they become coloured, flooding the space below with different hues of light. During the day Or2 becomes a shading device passively controlling the space below it. At night Or2 transforms into an enormous chandelier, disseminating light which has been collected by integrated photovoltaic cells during the day.

Sustainable Identities

Szilárd Cseke’s and Kinga German's work entitled "Sustainable Identities" investigated global issues at the Venice Biennale. Questions of identity were brought into collision with themes of migration, thus alluding to sustainability with the combination of found and recycled objects. White balls continuously moving back and forth inside the seven translucent tubes and a pillow-like foil cushion called attention to collective and individual identity formations. The inner courtyard was designed as interactive space. The project appealed to more than 502000 visitors.

Scottie

Scottie draws its inspiration from the features of a hot water bottle. Initially, it was developed for people with rheumatic problems. When you attach it to the radiator, with the taps, it fills with hot water and the chair will warm up. In summer, it can also be used to cool down, when adding cold water to it. Scottie can both be used indoors as well as outdoors. The chair is made from hollow steel pipes, bent by hand, welded and powder coated.

Ubiquitous Stand

Lumibolic

LUMIBOLIC is an interactive art installation which creates relationships between site and visitor through interactive lighting effects derived from electroluminescent wire and curved surfaces. Motion and sound sensors extend outward from the artwork and are triggered by activity in the surrounding environment. The data from these sensors stimulate the lit wire in the structure, creating dynamic light patterns and visual vibrations. These patterns inspired by the artwork of Op-Artists Bridget Riley and Victor Vasarely utilize several optical illusions to further experiences of visual effects.

Parasita

Parasita is a conceptual plant container made out of two different parts. the host (crystal piece) and the parasita (plant container). The parasita is placed in the host to generate an abstract representation of the concept. A living being needs another one for its own survival generating an interaction, that results in beautiful colors and forms that could go beyond the beauty that a single plant could generate. The graphic is a representation of parasitism, interacting with the water generating an optic illusion.
