LAVA’s new installation LIGHT VOID is touring in an international exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of Artemide, the famous Italian lighting company.
LAVA was one of 50 architects/designers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland invited to design a light installation. The designers were each given a blank, black box 35 x 35 x 35 cm in which to create a personal, visionary work about light for ‘DAS "BLACK BOX" PROJECT’. The only criteria were architectural quality and the use of light. Artemide says the results are 'philosophical, emotional, and mysterious light impressions'

LAVA’s new installation LIGHT VOID is touring in an international exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of Artemide, the famous Italian lighting company.
LAVA was one of 50 architects/designers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland invited to design a light installation. The designers were each given a blank, black box 35 x 35 x 35 cm in which to create a personal, visionary work about light for ‘DAS "BLACK BOX" PROJECT’. The only criteria were architectural quality and the use of light. Artemide says the results are 'philosophical, emotional, and mysterious light impressions'.
LAVA's LIGHT VOID is a minimal surface structure digitally modeled and prototyped. The transparent object articulates an imaginary space carved out by light entering through holes in the surface of the box.
LIGHT VOID continues LAVA’s investigations into creating space applying the principles of geometry found in nature.
LAVA’s piece is part of the international exhibition touring Europe in 2010/2011 and will feature in a new publication later this year 'Fifty years Artemide' published by Jovis Verlag. Shows have already been held in Frankfurt, Vienna and Zurich and are planned for Berlin and Munich in 2011.
Artemide was founded by Ernesto Gismondi and Sergio Mazza.
