Part of a collaboration between David Gill, this collection of works is firmly anchored in Daniel Libeskind’s drawings, a creative process that he continually turns to. The resulting furniture draws from multiple disciplines found in his drawings: from rigid, calculated and mathematical relations to lines paired with sinuous, fluid forms that are transformed by figures whose scale and function are elemental. The designs are created from bronze, white marble, glass and metal in unexpected and surprising ways. An exhibition of the furniture pieces was shown at David Gill Gallery in London during September 2018.  For inquiries, visit David Gill Gallery….

Some see an archipelago in its lines, or a naturally disordered landscape, or a perfect city skyline, or even a collage of geometries or a folded sheet of paper, like open origami. Edge, the new desk designed by Daniel Libeskind was presented at the Salone del Mobile in 2019. It has a unique style and incisive design, composed of several juxtaposed irregular and asymmetrical volumes, that can be used on different sides. A thin yet solid metal skeleton, visible only from above connects its elements, made with eucalyptus wood and black glass surfaces. Everything in Edge is designed to leave the geometry…

Intended for both commercial and residential use, the Gemma collection—first launched in Spring, 2015, in Milan—has been expanded to include a chair, sofa and sofa system for public spaces such as airports and lobbies. “Gemma is an exercise in architecture on a small scale,” says Daniel Libeskind. Asymmetrical hard edges are offset by Blur, a luxurious soft ombre knitted fabric that morphs from dark to light. The multi-faceted profile is reminiscent of a precious gemstone, and of the geometries typical of fifteenth century Italian tapestries. Gemma represents the synergy between the complex geometries for which Libeskind is known, and the…

The Fractile tile series designed for Casalgrande Padana combines state-of-the-art technology with legendary Italian ceramic technique to produce a revolutionary material. The geometric tile not only creates an expressive pattern that can be applied to a variety of surfaces, it also possesses surprising sustainable properties. The technology of Bios Self Cleaning ceramics allows the slabs to be self-cleaning and also reduces environmental pollution by purifying the air.

In collaboration with performance artist Marina Abramovic, Daniel Libeskind created a limited edition table based on Abramovic’s exercise “Counting the Rice”. The table is an embodiment of the performance staged by the Marina Abramovic Institute that involves counting grains of rice for six hours or more—the type of physically demanding experiment for which the contemporary artist is known. “I wanted to create something austere, but also beautiful that speaks to Marina’s work in a very direct way,” said Daniel Libeskind.  “The design comes from the idea of a church pew or monastic cloister.” Produced in an edition of 30 by the…

These handles are the outcome of a skillful work of removing material to obtain a thinned volume with an extremely modern character. It is suitable for modern environments, where design sophistication becomes a distinctive element of taste.

The Space of Encounter, by Daniel Libeskind Three Lessons in Architecture: The Machines Installation, Venice Biennale, 1985 The proposal deals with the city and its architecture in the form of participatory engagement with three large machines. The public is involved with creating and interpreting architecture in its broad social, cultural, and historical perspective. The three machines propose a fundamental recollection and a retrieval of the historical destiny of architecture; a singular, if unexpected, homecoming. This mechanism constitutes a single project: Each segment forms a starting point for the understanding and functioning of the others. Together they form a cycle in…

The position of the head first led to a particular idea of space.  This idea of space was neutral, regardless of what was happening in it. Anatomy of Architecture is a reflection on how the position of the head has changed the perception of architecture. I have created a concrete head from the virtual head of Piero della Francesca’s work on perspective. Is the head still looking?  If yes – from where and at what?   Daniel Libeskind February 2013

The Museo del 900, Milan’s Museum of 20th century art, has opened an exhibition of the collection of the famed Milanese collector Claudia Gian Ferrari. Daniel Libeskind, who met Claudia Gian Ferrari in the 1980s through their mutual friend Aldo Rossi, was asked to design the exhibition, which was curated by Danka Giacon. The exhibition was open from 9 November, 2012 to 3 March, 2013.

Daniel Libeskind presents an installation called Beyond the Wall as part of the Interni Hybrid/Metissage Architecture & Design Exhibition being held at the Cortile d’Onore Seicentesco of the Università Statale April 9-14 in Milan, Italy.  Made from Silestone® quartz treated with Consentino’s innovative matte “suede” finish, this spectacular polycentric spiral opens in multiple directions along many different trajectories, propulsively twisting to a dramatic zenith. The exhibition’s other contributors include Sefer Caglar, Michele Cazzani, Mario Cucinella, Michele de Lucchi, Akihisa Hirata, Steven Holl, Simone Micheli, Chritophe Pillet, Luca Scacchetti, Dean Skira and Sergei Tchoban and Sergey Kuznetsov with Marco Bravura.

Premiering during the 2009 Milan Design Week in the showroom of the famous Via Manzoni, Daniel Libeskind’s tea set designed for Sawaya & Moroni is his first home accessory. Libeskind’s tea set reflects his unique architectural style that has resulted in iconic buildings all over the world; here that design sense is miniaturized in the form of this striking sculptural object for use in the home.  This handmade Sterling silver tea set includes tea pot, coffee pot, creamer, two tea cups, sugar bowl and tray.

Beyond The Wall, located at Cosentino’s world headquarters in Almeria, Spain, is a remarkable result of the ongoing collaboration between Libeskind Design and Cosentino Group. A temporary version of this sculpture was showcased in Milan’s Statale University during Milan’s Design Week 2013. Based on the infinite possibilities of the spiral, Beyond the Wall is a unique structure and is the first to be created using Dekton® by Cosentino. It is not a traditional spiral with a single center and axis, but a contemporary spiral which opens a plurality of directions along many different trajectories; a polycentric spiral, propulsively twisting to…

The installation Pinnacle, grew out of Libeskind’s desire to celebrate the history and tradition of ceramic manufacturing in Italy’s Emilia Romagna region. The 8m-high sculpture, which sits in the 17th-century Courtyard of the Priory in the former Children’s Hospital of Bologna, the region’s capital, consists of two imposing facades made of metalized-porcelain ceramic panels. The facades converge to form a pinnacle that serves as a gate to the former hospital complex. The sculpture is a collaboration with the well-known Italian floor and cladding tile manufacturer Casalgrande Padana, while the joint project began at the CityLife construction site, where the Emilia-based…

The Spirit House Chair was unveiled ahead of the 2007 opening of the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). Daniel  Libeskind and Toronto furniture designer Klaus Nienkämper collaborated to design the limited edition, custom built piece of furniture inspired by the peaks and facades of Libeskind’s Crystal. The contemporary, multi-faceted Spirit House Chair was one Libeskind’s first forays into the world of furniture. The chair is constructed entirely of 14 gauge stainless steel with a brushed finish, weighing in at 180 lbs. It is designed to be oriented in five different positions and can be used as…

Daniel Libeskind’s eL Chandelier is roughly nine feet tall and two-and-a-half feet wide. It weighs 350 pounds. A luminous, sharp-edged, cascading shape, the chandelier has a highly-polished stainless steel exterior and a stainless-and-23-carat-gold-plated-leaf interior. Created in collaboration with SAWAYA & MORONI S.p.A. and Austrian lighting company Zumtobel, the limited-edition eL Chandelier is distinguished by both its striking design and the sophisticated technology that underlies it. The light emitted by eL mimics and reproduces the cosmic light that fills the Universe. To achieve this, Dr. Noam I Libeskind, Daniel Libeskind’s son and an astrophysicist at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics in Potsdam, used eL’s LEDs…
