Fluxus

by Andromeda · Italy · GLA199 · Published 17 Dec 2010
About this material

Fluxus is the result of the cooperation between Artist Michela Vianello, whose inspiration gave shape to the overall concept of the sculpture, and designer Karim Rashid, who designed the Knit – individual hand-made glass element.
Technical characteristics of Fluxus are outstanding: it covers a surface area of 60 m², using 80,000
handmade glass Knit elements in 5 colors. 6,000 kg of glass, steel and technology. The structure consists of mirrored hand shaped metal tracks, creating a perpetual sense of an unfinished spiral movement. Running on these tracks are fine cross-beams to which the Knit elements are anchored, attached one by one by means of a technical device created to an original Andromeda design. The lighting is provided by 5,000 punctiform halogen lamps distributed in a network across the internal surface of the wave.
About Andromeda:
Andromeda is one of the world’s leading brands in luxury custom-made handmade-glass lighting design. Set up in Murano in 1972, Andromeda brings a sense of modernity through its original interpretation of aesthetic concepts.
