Egyenes Labirintus Kör (Hungary)
Heavy Lightness
Founder of Egyenes Labirintus Kör, an interdisciplinary studio based in Budapest, Gaspar Bonta features his first collection, “Heavy Lightness”. At the intersection of art and design, it explores the border between physical space and experience, through a process that culminates in the design product. His collection is made from plexi geometric furniture inspired by his grandfather's sculptures, or concrete vases that are influenced by the ceramics of his grandmother, showing a nostalgic and familiar design on an imaginary conceptual stage. The collection focuses more on the experience of what we can and cannot see: heavy, solid objects, yet phantom-like due to their transparency. In a prismatic interplay in which the object takes on all the colors of the world as its tones change depending on the viewer's position, its shadow reflects the complementary color of the illuminated surface.
