LIBESKIND022

Febal Casa Completed

LIBESKIND022 is the new collection of sideboards that pursues and captures the poetry and stregth of light in architecture, giving rise to three-dimensional surfaces, where light and shadow play on ephemeral shapes, responding to changing conditions and to the textured appeal of each piece.  Daniel Libeskind drew his inspiration from the historical uses of cabinet-making to protect precious objects. The design is minimal and concurrently complex: it changes constantly depending on how the light strikes it, creating a dynamic surface that integrates contemporary life.

eL

Zumtobel / Sawaya & Moroni Completed

Daniel Libeskind’s eL Chandelier is roughly nine feet tall and two-and-a-half feet wide. It weighs 350 pounds.
