Lilium series

source: thisiscolossal

Designer Joseph Walsh believes that the quality of life can be improved by surrounding ourselves with work that is valued beyond both its form and function, an idea manifested through his functional art and sculptures embedded with calculated chaos. Walsh designs and produces pieces that stimulate the mind, entice the senses, and exist as more than our traditional view of furniture and design objects.

Walsh designs one-of-a-kind pieces like the enormous desk he produced as a part of the Design Show exhibition at the New Art Centre in Roche Court in 2014. At its center the pieces looks almost like a traditional work surface, then it spirals upward, engulfing visitors and ending in a very large shelf that extends against one wall of the gallery.

In Walsh’s Lilium series he explores the relationship between the geometric and the organic, mixing symmetrical repetitions with elaborate abstract shapes. Through each of these techniques Walsh captures natural growth, calling forth nature’s sometimes random generations and curious patterns.

“In ‘Lilium’ I explore the relationship between the ordered and chaotic; the geometric and the lyrical; the perfect, effortless symmetry of the bulb, the regulated, controlled element and its freed form as it reaches through and beyond,” says Walsh. “The Lilium series is both a study and an expression of the relationship between the beauty we create and the beauty we allow to happen; the beauty we participate in creating and the beauty we quietly observe.”

Walsh founded his studio and workshop in 1999 in Co. Cork, Ireland. Self-taught, he continually seeks inspiration for his pieces in patterns of growth and evolution. Walsh does not work alone, but with a team of master makers and technicians, helping to both engineer and craft the final pieces that come out of the studio.

In the Lilium series, Joseph Walsh expands on the formation and layering language of his Enignum series and once again refers to natural elements that inspire his work.
Lilium explores the relationship between the geometric and the organic; while some of the pieces’ elements keep to symmetrical repetitions, others erupt into glorious, abstract shape.

The finished pieces blur the line between still and living objects, while capturing the natural instincts for growth in the material, the maker and the viewer. They mimic nature’s patterns, beginning with a cohesive bulb / form and growing according to diverse set of circumstances. In this work, Joseph finds the piece’s forms by following the curve of the wood so that the sculpture evolves from a structured, predictable object into a freely flowing work.
The making process of the Lilium series involves stripping Ash into thin layers and shaping the works, layer upon layer, while allowing the material to evolve into its final form.

Joseph Walsh (born in 1979) founded his studio and workshop in 1999 in Co. Cork, Ireland. He is a self-taught designer maker, realising one of a kind and limited edition pieces. Walsh’s creative approach reflects his appreciation of nature and also his desire to engage the user with visual and tactile forms.

Il designer Joseph Walsh ha realizzato delle serie di installazioni seguendo la filosofia che ogni suo lavoro, al di là della funzione e delle forma, deve circondare creando delle strutture che immergono l’osservatore in un caos calcolato. Le statue e gli oggetti di design del creativo sono tutti in legno e con la loro struttura hanno il compito di stimolare i nostri sensi e dimostrare che esistono ancora mobili e arredamenti che si distanziano dalla visione tradizionale.

AHŞAPTAN SANAT YARATAN TASARIMCI JOSEPH WALSH ŞİMDİ AHŞAP İLE ÇOK DAHA KIVRIMLI VE SPİRALLİ ŞEKİLLER YARATARAK KULLANIMINA OLDUKÇA ALIŞIK OLDUĞUMUZ BU MATERYALİ BAMBAŞKA BİR ŞEKİLDE GÖZLER ÖNÜNE SERİYOR.

Ahşap oldukça eski zamanlardan beri kullanılan bir materyal. Evimizdeki birçok şey ahşaptandır ve şuan bile kullanmaya devam ediyoruz. Fakat sert bir madde olan ahşabın alabileceği şekiller normalde biraz daha kısıtlıdır. Joseph Walsh ise ahşapta hiçbir kısıtlama tanımayarak bize bu kıvrımlı, spiralli koleksiyonunu sunuyor.

Lilium adını verdiği bu seri geometriyle organik arasındaki ilişkiyi tekrar eden simetrik şekillerden yola çıkarak keşfediyor. Lilium serisi sadece somut şeylerden değil soyutluktan da ilham almış. Welsh Lilium serisinin aslında yarattığımız güzellik ve olmasına izin verdiğimiz güzellik, yani yaratma sürecinde içinde olduğumuz ve güzel olarak gözlemlediğimiz, arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koyduğunu söylüyor.

Daha önce ödüllü tasarımı ortadan dev bir spiral oluşturan yemek masasıyla tanıdığımız tasarımcı 1999’da kurduğu atölyesinde o günden bu yana ekibiyle çalışmaya devam ediyor. Siz de ahşaptan yapılmış bu sıra dışı tasarımlardan hoşlanıyorsanız tasarımcının daha çok eserini takip edebilirsiniz.

Дизайнер Joseph Walsh улучшает качество нашей жизни, создавая предметы интерьера стимулирующие мышление, расширяющие привычное представление о мебели и дизайне интерьера. Конструкции Walsh являются единственными в своем роде. Например, громадный стол, который был частью дизайна на шоу-выставке в Рош (2014). В центре он выглядел как традиционная рабочая поверхность, а вверх от него простирались спирали, закручивающиеся в огромный шлейф, безмятежно расположившийся вдоль одной из стен галереи. Walsh в цикле своих работ «Lilium series» успешно связывает между собой геометрию и органику, создавая великолепные узоры. На Joseph Walsh работает целая команда мастеров и инженеров помогающая воплощать «древесные иллюзии» в жизнь. В 1999 году он основал свою студию и мастерскую в Колорадо. Walsh — самоучка и постоянно ищет вдохновения для эволюции своего таланта.
