Confessions

source: furniturefashion

Art and industrial design junkie Arik Levy has been rather obsessed with the feelings and behaviors of people — a theme that runs rampant throughout the work he’s been doing since he graduated from Art Center Europe in Switzerland with a degree in industrial design in 1991. The fact that he’s designed sets for contemporary dance and opera on European stages makes perfect sense when you consider the multi-functional — not to mention dramatic — nature of what he calls his “contemporary domestic confessional.” This ultra private seating is angular yet podlike in form, giving it the semblance of a confessional booth, and Levy even goes so far as to incorporate conversation slats on alternating sides so a conversation can take place between the inhabitants of two booths standing side by side. With geo-location check-ins, ever present cameras and social media’s incessantly open eyes upon us everywhere we go, we can’t imagine there are too many secrets left, but for those who have them, perhaps this is the perfect — albeit funky — seating option for a rec room or communal space. The booths are part of Levy’s museum collection for the Art Institute of Chicago and are presented in blonde, charcoal and tomato red tones. Forgive us, readers, for we have sinned… we’re actually kind of coveting our neighbor’s chairs!

Krzesła Confessions to pomysł francuskiego projektanta Arik’a Levy’ego. Artysta motywuje zaprojektowanie tego niezwykłego mebla chęcią przywrócenia ludziom bliskości. W związkach często brakuje porozumienia, z czasem ludzie zapominają dlaczego są razem, krzesło przypominające kształtem konfesjonał ma stworzyć intymną atmosferę i skłonić do zwierzeń i rozmowy, a tym samym przyczynić się do odbudowania zaufania w związku.

Тему кристаллов продолжил Французский дизайнер израильского происхождения Арик Леви. Он много работал с интерьером и ландшафтным дизайном. Начинал карьеру в Париже и хорошо знаком с национальной французской культурой. Совместно с дизайнером Пиппо Лионни Леви основал студию Ldesign. Его работы ироничны и неожиданны. Нажмите для увеличения изображенияПривыкший удивлять Леви создает мебель, светильники, коробки для коньяка, работает над сценографией спектаклей. Его работы входят в состав многих частных коллекций и собраний известных музеев: Центр Помпиду в Париже, музей Виктории и Альберта в Лондоне, Музей современного искусства в Нью-Йорке. В 2009 году Swarovski посвятила ему персональную выставку в Милане. Не так давно вместе с чешскими стекольщиками Арик Леви сделал… цветочные горшки из серебрис-того стекла для кактусов. Три цветочных горшка из коллекции Vegetal Drops выдувались вручную, и поэтому каждый приобрел уникальную форму. Критики называют Леви «великим и ужасным». Есть отчего. В 2012 году Арик Леви создал зеркало необычной формы и сложных преломлений из полированной стали. Изогнутые грани зеркала продолжают основное направление коллекции Леви. Нажмите для увеличения изображенияКривое зеркало водружено на вершину резного деревянного помоста в стиле работ придворных мастеров французских монархов. «Кожа Людовика XV» (одно название зеркала может повергнуть в ужас) выглядит как часть стены и имеет роскошную консоль в оригинальном стиле Людовика XV.
Rock Sculptures – тема кристаллов – ключевая для Леви. В пространстве – на террасе или в саду – мебель из зеркальных камней выглядит как современная скульптура. А в кристальном зеркале Rock Sculptures настоящее словно соединяется с прошлым и будущим.

“Creation is an uncontrolled muscle” according to Arik Levy (born 1963).

Artist, technician, photographer, designer, filmmaker, Levy’s skills are multi–disciplinary and his work can be seen in prestigious galleries and museums worldwide. Best known publicly for his sculptures – such as his signature Rock pieces –, his installations, limited editions and design, Levy nevertheless feels “The world is about people, not objects.”

Hailing originally from Israel and moving to Europe after his first participation in a group sculpture exhibition in Tel–Aviv in 1988, Levy currently works in his studio in Paris.

His formation was unconventional where surfing, as well as his art and graphic design studio, took up much of his time back home. Following studies at the Art Center Europe in Switzerland he gained a distinction in Industrial Design in 1991.

After a stint in Japan where he consolidated his ideas producing products and pieces for exhibitions, Levy returned to Europe where he contributed his artistry to another field – contemporary dance and opera by way of set design.

The creation of his firm then meant a foray back to his first love, art and industrial design, as well as other branches of his talents. Respected for his furniture and light designs on all continents, Levy also creates hi–tech clothing lines and accessories for firms in the Far East.

Considering himself now more of a “feeling” artist, Arik Levy continues to contribute substantially to our interior and exterior milieu, his work including public sculpture, as well as complete environments that can be adapted for multi use. “Life is a system of signs and symbols,” he says, “where nothing is quite as it seems.”
