Jesse Visser will present imposing monumental limited editions: triptychs — of which the largest is 1.65 meters high and 2.30 meters wide — as part of Enlightened Design III for London Design Festival.On view from September 19 through September 22, the huge narrative works suggest triptychs with wood-painted panels from a medieval church but are contemporary and daring lighting designs made of solid high-polished brass and stainless-steel plates. The triptychs consist of folding shutters behind which lie reflective panels with round circular lights or, in the other version, two tube lights that shed and reflect an atmospheric light.Visser, in search for new production techniques and innovative materials, has developed a preference for tactile materials in which the processing of the surface plays a role. Visser looks in the minutest of the detailing just as for this modern triptych, the designer developed solid turned hinges of brass or stainless steel with which the hatches can be opened.The designer believes that the functional lighting artwork is not finished until a user performs the required action: the opening and closing of the shutters.The designer will also showcase his bright and robust lamps that were recently included in the Hollands Licht collection: the golden chandelier and wall lamp from the King Arthur series of laser-cut aluminium form minimalist translations of a medieval chandelier.‘Jesse Visser Designprojects’ is a Amsterdam based design studio established by designer Jesse Visser in 2000. He enjoys various collaborations with labels, craftsmen, product-developers, industry- and other creative thinkers. A part of his designs are created in partnership with designer brands or as custom pieces for architects. On his own initiative, he creates in-house productions and special limited edition pieces.The labels Visser works for are predominantly focussing on furniture and lighting design. He is strongly involved by the process of product-development. Searching for new production techniques, innovative materials, finding the best solution that will bring the product to a higher level. He challenges himself to break down a product to its essence and then built it up with as few resources as possible, which result in functional high end pieces.http://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
