Barrisol is the world leading manufacturer of suspended ceilings. This material lights up and gives the impression that it is at one with the building where it is installed also offers an element of acoustic attenuation.

This product is mainly used for classical interiors, the smooth and horizontal canvas producing an alternative light that is easy to install other suspended ceiling systems.

Studying in depth the stretching properties of the material, we found that it had the ability to take the form of minimal surfaces, as they are called in the field of mathematics. This means that even if the canvas is flat, when it is cut and assembled with high accuracy, it allows for creation of volumetric three-dimensional shapes.

The aim of this project is to illustrate the inherent value of this material using innovative manufacturing technologies, such as digital cutting or digitally controlled three-dimensional folding machines, for a high level of accuracy on an architectural scale.

Thanks to the stretching properties of the material studied in the first version of the design, we get superb, illuminated large objects that illuminate and enhance the acoustic qualities of the spaces they inhabit. The Barrisol stretched canvas and 3 dimensional tubular frame form a coherent entity.

A single stand was created to present this lamp at the Biennale Interieur in Kortrijk, Belgium, which was also built by Barrisol for the purpose of illustrating the other possible applications of this materials. The project at large examines various properties of the materials used for the Barrisol stretched canvas such as its reflection, acoustic attenuation and exceptional translucency.

C’est à la Biennale Interieur de Courtrai, en Belgique, que le designer britannique Ross Lovegrove a créé pour Barrisol une installation grand volume réunissant des luminaires en 3D au sein d’un pavillon réfléchissant tapissé de dalles hexagonales…

La collection de luminaires est une adaptation en 3D des toiles Barrisol, utilisées dans le monde entier pour les murs et plafonds tendus, apportant des solutions d’éclairage, acoustiques, techniques et esthétiques…

Cette installation Ross Lovegrove x Barrisol comprend quatre grandes pièces qui établissent un équilibre harmonieux entre forme et fonction. Trois de ces pièces se basent sur la « boucle infinie ». Ce sont des luminaires en 3D, de grand volume, créés grâce à une synergie parfaite entre le matériau tendu, l’éclairage LED et le cadre de métal. La quatrième pièce, Manta, forme un rhomboïde, ce qui autorise différentes installations modulaires de grande dimension. Les toiles Barrisol, dotées de propriétés d’étirement différentes, permettent une atténuation acoustique graduelle et un éclairage uniforme…

Un nouveau chapitre pour Barrisol en matière de conception lumineuse et réfléchissante, qui souligne les nombreuses possibilités qui s’offrent aux architectes et aux designers quand ils travaillent avec ce matériau.

Ross Lovegrove created an installation of large volume, 3D lights within a distinctive hexagontiled reflective pavilion, made from materials and technology by the innovative French company, Barrisol. Both the pavilion and lighting collection is currently on view at Biennale Interieur in Kortrijk, Belgium until the 26th of October.

The installation includes four large pieces that balance aesthetic form with subtle lighting function. Three pieces of the collection are forms of an ‘infinite loop’, they are highly volumetic, threedimensional lights, created from a perfect synergy between the stretch material, LED lighting and an aluminium framework. The final piece, Manta, forms a rhomboid, which allows for many different large modular arrangements. In this light, Barrisol foils with different intensities of stretch provide highly layered acoustic dampening and uniform lighting.

Ross Lovegrove is a designer and visionary who’s work is considered to be at the very apex of stimulating a profound change in the physicality of our three dimensional world.

Inspired by the logic and beauty of nature his design possess a trinity between technology, materials science and intelligent organic form, creating what many industrial leaders see as the new aesthetic expression for the 21st Century. There is always embedded a deeply human and resourceful approach in his designs, which project an optimism, and innovative vitality in everything he touches from cameras to cars to trains, aviation and architecture.

Born 1958 in Cardiff, Wales. Graduated from Manchester Polytechnic with 1st Class BA Hons Industrial design in 1980. Master of Design of Royal College of Art, London in 1983.

In the early 80’s worked as a designer for Frog Design in West Germany on projects such as Walkmans for Sony, Computers for Apple Computers, later moved to Paris as consultant to Knoll International;. Being author of the highly successful Alessandri Office System.

Invited to join the Atelier de Nimes along with Jean Nouvel and Phillipe Stark, consulting to amongst others Cacharel, Louis Vuitton, Hermes and Dupont.

Returning to London in 1986 he has completed projects for amongst others Airbus Industries, Kartell, Ceccotti, Cappellini, Idee, Moroso, Luceplan, Driade, Peugeot, Apple Computers, Issey Miyake, Vitra, Motorola, Biomega, LvMH, Yamagiwa Corporation, Tag Heuer, Hackman, Alias, Herman Miller, Artemide, Japan Airlines and Tokyo Ito Architects in Japan.

Winner of numerous international awards his work has been extensively published and exhibited internationally including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Guggenheim Museum NY, Axis Centre Japan, Pompidou Centre, Paris and the Design Museum, London, when in 1993 he curated the first permanent collection. His work is held in permanent collections of various design museums around the world including Museum of Modern Art in New York (MOMA), Design Museum in London and Vitra Design Museum Weil Am Rhein, Basel, CH.

该空间位于近期在比利时Kortrijk举办的室内空间商贸展上，天花板材料制造商Barrisol想Ross能够利用其独家的材料设计制作展览空间和产品设计创新。中间巨大的吊灯是利用Barrisol材料自然延展的特性制作，“自然生产”的曲线骨架为铝管。为容纳这些吊灯，整个场馆内饰均采用片状的Barrisol材料，通过设计形成独特的艺术效果，也将Barrisol材料的拉伸延展性做了很好的呈现。灯具分为两种类型，其中一种变化扭转复杂一些，可以相互搭配组合装饰酒店大堂或机场等大型空间。但是复杂的螺旋曲线给后期的生产制作带来很大的困难，设计工作室运用参数化数字建模的方式可以很容易将模型在电脑中模拟出来，但是如何通过实体模型或者可执行性的有效解决办法说服客户却需要很长时间去研究和实验。不过对于Lovegrove工作室来讲，这样的事情已经驾轻就熟，通过分解，模型模拟等方式拉近设计者与客户，概念模型与商业生产之间的距离，研究深入了总能找到设计、生产与市场定位之间的平衡点。
