Chain lamp and bowl were for MGX by Materialise made by One & Co.
The light emitted by the Con-Sequence lamp from MGX by Materialise made by One & Co gradually increases in intensity as it approaches the table surface, generating a grounded glow that is both intriguing and intimate. The beauty of the object stems from its gradually developing chain pattern and the resultant cast light. Like with the Sequence bowl, these unique transitions, from geometrical to organic and from solid to intertwined, that define this lamp. The Con-Sequence lamp takes the solid to chain link idea to another level whereby the flexible links are no longer contained within a solid frame. As a consequence they are exposed and become the center of attention as they taper down and grow out-wards, gracefully resting on the table surface.
The Sequence chain bowl from MGX by Materialise made by One & Co is half functional object and half sculpture. Its quiet but rigid outside geometry is juxtaposed to its flexible center structure. The small footprint of flexible elements allows only one or a few objects to reside on making the bowl an object of utmost privacy. With Sequence we are combining traditional molded aesthetics (solid wall construction) with the intricacies of 3D printing. The intersection of two generations of manufacturing processes result in an unprecedented part: A surface that translates from solid to loose chain mail. There is a sort of sequential poetry when each small chain link manages to free itself from the solid for a brief moment of individuality and freedom just before being reabsorbed into that same faceless mass.
