LAVA’s LIGHT VOID toured in an international exhibition in 2010/2011 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. Each designer was 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. The results are philosophical, emotional, and mysterious light impressions. LAVA created LIGHT VOID 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 of creating space applying the principles of geometry found in nature. The potential for naturally evolving systems such as snowflakes, spider webs and soap bubbles for new building typologies and structures has continued to fascinate LAVA - the geometries in nature create both efficiency and beauty.LAVA’s box is part of the international exhibition of the boxes touring in 2010/2011 and features in Fifty years Artemide published by Jovis Verlag.Artemide was founded by Ernesto Gismondi and Sergio Mazza and is a world leader in lighting.
