RIK BOVENS
aranea
In collaboration with the Swiss design magazine “wohnrevue” I had the chance to contribute the lighting design concept “aranea” which got published in the February issue 2019.
Inspired by the exhibition “ON AIR” by Tomás Saraceno at Palais de Tokyo I created a design resembling spiders and their skills in shaping threedimensional shapes.
By simply weaving 30 meters of power cable around nine steel rods I was seeking to achieve a minimalistic and almost dissolving character in the design of the lighting.
