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…

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…

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…

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 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…
