Catch This Biomorphic Sculpture Series In London<\/h1>\n\n\n

Inspired by bone formations, coral, and animal scales, Spirits is a limited-edition sculpture series that merges traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. The process involves a complex back and forth between two entities interested in computational design and innovation: Berlin-based Orsi Orban, a multidisciplinary artist and three-dimensional surface designer, and Duffy London\u2019s Christopher London, who focuses on high-end custom furniture. It begins with Orban presenting her surface-design creation methods and Duffy exploring forms with CAD and AI. \u201cWe collectively pushed our limits by investigating what could be achieved in the digital realm and how it could be faithfully reproduced in the physical world,\u201d Orban explains. Once adjustments are made and she receives the CAD files, Orban dissects them into smaller components that she then constructs from hundreds of pieces of laser-cut cherry laminate paired with polyester foil, which makes the wood stronger and more flexible. The modules are connected without glue in what Orban describes as a \u201creimagining of weaving,\u201d whereby a part of each piece is drawn through a slit made in the one above it, slowly building the final form, which is approximately 3 feet tall. Two similar sculptures debuted in May at Clerkenwell Design Week, but with polypropylene scales. Steadan, Pulse, <\/em>and Harmon <\/em>shown here are planned to participate in London Design Week in September. orsiorban.com<\/a>; duffylondon.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
