It is from this urban framework – between function and ornament, kitsch and technical beauty, light and kineticism – that we in turn have captured this object. The formal vocabulary that characterizes the object is preserved (cylinder, spiral, luminous tube) but redesigned in a minimalist and refined way. The light source is assumed and draws a vertical line around which is articulated the volume of the object.
In both versions, the graphic and visual strength of the moving pattern is highlighted by a subtle interplay between the transparency of the tube and the translucency or opacity of the ribbon.
The work centered around the spiral emphasizes the complementarity between the light and the aesthetic properties of the materials used.
Version #1, in aluminum, gives the object a radical aesthetic through its monochrome finish. The ornamental and decorative character of the spiral then takes on a more technical and urban dimension, between a reflector and a reflective strip.
