Arik Levy: Osmosis

內容簡介

Arik Levy is one of the most progressive designers at work today. Honoured by his peers in disciplines ranging from furniture and interior design to lighting, hi-tech clothing and product design,Levy has also extended his practice as an artist,photographer and filmmaker.
Following previous exhibitions of his design work at Centre Georges Pompidou, the Jerusalem Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum,in April 2009, Levy installed an Born-long exhibition of sublimely beautiful works - collectively entitled Osmosis - for Swarovski Crystal Palace at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan.
This book documents that installation, which Levy based on the chaton form, that most emblematic of crystal cuts, abstractly transformed here in media ranging from wire-frame superstructures and 4sokg marble Floor Jewels, to interactive audio-visual arenas and, of course, archetypal Swarovski crystal. With o conversation between author LeonardKoren and Arik Levy, texts by writer and designer Suzonne Trocme, curator Zoe Ryon and composerLeon Mira, and more than 200 illustrations in coloar.
