Kianoosh Motallebi’s light sculpture meshes two opposing forces into one singular element.

I have always been intrigued by the glass bottles of snake in wine commonly found in chinese medicinal halls. HongKong designer Kobo Sin finds a way to move real flies, intestines, bones and reptiles into your living room in a strange, freakish yet alluring way.

Exploring human’s relationship with nature. We are losing touch with the natural world around us. The aim of this project is to confront and shock people by turning unwanted and unused parts of nature into provocative products and pulling nature back into people’s minds.

By incorporating elements of the animal world into a whole series of decorative furniture and lighting. Using those parts normally thrown away or ignored. The result is a set of freakish lights and a coffee table that both appeal and repulse. The style is purposely kept simple to make the nature stand out.

Handdrawn ink on paper but smooth, flowing and architectural. by Peter Jellitsch.

STB means Streambody, this series is based on a motion algorithm that is used in architectural practice to simulate wind directions and the force of air that arrives at highrise buildings. I have experimented with this program, and the outcome was solid bubbles which I have then redrawn with the directions that they had. The degree denotation that my title has (for example: STB/S02/90°) is explaining the turn of the wind-force hitting the object.
