Jean-Pascal Flavien cul-de-sac, 2017
3D printed lamp, LED light
20 x 25 x 20 cm
Combining aspects of a pyramid and a cone, cul-de-sac is a functioning lamp. Its shape alludes to conical beam of light emitted yet gives it an apparently solid green form, reversing the orientation. Jean-Pascal Flavien’s altered domestic objects, such as chairs, tables, outlets or blinds draw attention to the way in which design and architecture shape our experience of space but also how they can more fundamentally determine our experience of ourselves and of others.
