México City, Mexico
México City designer Federico Stefanovich has introduced a new dynamic, minimal lighting piece made of wood that also functions as a kinetic sculpture for Liebal.
The raw and simplistic character of this lighting piece in addition to its apparent state of balance seeks to relate with the user through their sensibility and emotions.
Óseo’s composition relies on calculated volume, mass, and density —as well as the distance between objects—to achieve equilibrium.
This kinetic and changing system relates to its surroundings in a subtle manner and transcends the inert expression of other sculptural objects.
Regardless of being understood as an artistic proposal, Óseo originates from a fully functional approach.
In order to accomplish the balance of the composition, multiple parameters such as volume, mass, and density, as well as the distance between the elements, are calculated and projected simultaneously from the shaping of every piece of the system.
Each individual element’s shape has to be created from these measurements before being handcrafted with traditional woodworking techniques.
Because of this design approach, each fixture has slight variations, making every composition unique.
Óseo subtly changes depending on its surroundings and how much air is flowing nearby, creating an individual experience for everyone who encounters the sculpture.
All the wooden pieces are handcrafted with traditional woodworking techniques. It’s available in solid walnut or inked oak wood, powder-coated steel, and paper.
