EMILIJA GLOBYTĖ / CHANGE
Design objects are connected by a sensitive look at materials and the experiences of their existence. The copper object “Kismas” (2023) gives meaning to the change from the everyday function – the perspective of sitting. During the interaction between: fixation of body lines in contact with the surface, sleek shape and plastic copper forming processes. By empathizing with the strands of copper in the formation of the sheet, a wide spectrum of changing states of copper in response to the environment and further corporeal associations has opened up. The extension of the experience also opens up through the black alder solid bench “Tarp” (2024), marking the character of the furniture through the corners of the bench leading to soft forms with a strict line. Formed proportions of the furniture from different viewing angles, through line changes, reveal a contrasting visual difference in form. As you watch, the objects connect with each other as you consider the meaning of sitting and materiality in the context of functionality and visuality.
