nacho carbonell unveils light mesh table cocoons at carpenters workshop gallery london
the family of objects is comprised of organically shaped semi-transparent cocoons that vary in form and that are fitted by a loosely structured sand-coloured mesh; each illuminated from within, producing a natural warm glow.

the family of objects is comprised of organically shaped semi-transparent cocoons that vary in form and that are fitted by a loosely structured sand-coloured mesh; each illuminated from within so that the light diffuses through the webbing producing a natural warm glow. individually, these hybrid works, tables and lamps at once, seem to suggest expressive creatures — fantastic and fascinating.
black cocoons in pedestal features
‘I like to see objects as living organisms, imagining them coming alive and being able to surprise you with their behaviour. I want to create objects with my hands, then i can give them my personality. I turn them into communicative objects that can arouse one’s sensations and imagination. in short, what i want to create are objects with a fictional or fantasy element, that allow you to escape from everyday life.’ – nacho carbonell.
nacho carbonell: light mesh will be exhibited at the carpenters workshop gallery, london from october 12th to november 20th, 2015.
