LAMPION 31 16 - Moser 2007






vase Lampion

The vase Lampion (Chinese lantern) was designed by Petr Vadura as one of the objects which are inspired by incentives and heritage of the Eastern cultures. Specifically here, they come from China and Japan where lampions originated. The author gives the rhythm to a simple and pure form through a play of asymmetrically decreasing horizontal cuts in combination with large lenses. The lenses symbolize here light emanated in a circle. It suffices to look into one of the lenses to understand that in the very center of the object there is a small focus of blending optical effects. Something is going on here. The same way as a calm candle flame lights up in the middle of the Chinese lantern, there is life here, too. This object is an everlasting balance between statics and movement.(texte Moser)
