for milan design week 2010, the dutch-belgian studio job and the dutch pieke bergmans, in association with italian gallery dilmos will present ‘wonderlamp’, a collection of 7 light objects.

both pieke bergmans and studio job work with archetypal materials. studio job creates monumental objects made of cast bronze, while bergmans has made a name for herself developing mouth-blown crystal forms which coagulate into fluid forms. these are the points of departure for their collaboration ‘wonderlamp’, in which bergmans’ large glass light bulbs are linked to seven bronze objects from studio job. the seven playful, but monumental implements stir fantasy and imagination. where bergmans’ objects seek correlation with reality, studio job creates a fantasy world full of surrealistic elements. these differences offer enough points of contact for an interesting exchange of ideas.
