La Mer — Chair-Light - Designed for the exhibition “Unidentified Lighting Objects,” Milan Design Week, 1989
Antonio Larosa was still an architecture student in Milan when he was invited by the prestigious design brand Dilmos to create a piece for the exhibition Unidentified Lighting Objects organized by ZEUS Milano. At the time, Dilmos was renowned for producing unique works by some of the world’s most influential artists and designers (including Alessandro Mendini, Ettore Sottsass, Danny Lane, Maurizio Cattelan, Gaetano Pesce etc,..). The exhibition explored the idea of objects that could serve multiple purposes while sharing a common characteristic: the emission of light. Each work was required to possess a practical or functional quality beyond simply producing illumination, transforming light into an integral part of the object's identity and use.
For La Mer, Larosa conceived a chair combined with a sculptural light source. At its center was a ceramic sphere pierced with a constellation of small openings. Inside the sphere, a powerful halogen light projected beams of light through the perforations, creating a striking effect in the darkness.
