Each year the fair is visited by over 40 thousand guests from over 60 countries of the world. Exhibitors present ideas for both interior and urban amenities. Acren Poland and 4Concept are among Polish representatives. In turn, the popular Greenhouse section presents works of independent designers and students from top design schools. This year, besides pieces designed by the students of the Faculty of Industrial Design of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, visitors can also view lighting systems designed by Joanna Piaścik.
Her Modular Wall Light is a modular lighting system comprising of singular elements compatible to be joined with each other to create light patterns on walls. These elements also reflect and scatter light of the energy-efficient LED tapes, which come in different colours.
The idea for Modular Wall Light came during Piaścik’s work on the Reflex project – a system of screens which add more light to the northern and eastern facades of buildings with the use of sunlight.
“Geometrical form of the screens, somehow organic, has fascinated me, and reintroducing this solution to the insides came naturally” – says Joanna Piaścik.
Joanna Piaścik is a designer of products. She completed Industrial Design studies on the Universität der Künste in Berlin. She’s a co-creator (2006) and a member of an artistic collective DissoNoiSex, which explores relationships between music, human sensuality and their ability to interact. She’s also a founder of the Warsaw DINGFLUX project studio. Piaścik is also interested in relationships that form between a product and its potential user. As a result of this pathway, Piaścik creates objects which serve their owners and users for longer than just for one season. They can easily adapt to changes or simply – age well.
