Collaboration with furniture designer Pedro Cerisola.

This collaboration is a subjective translation of a mathematical representation. The work started with ‘Cumulus’ designed by Pedro Cerisola, product of his research on synergy by Buckminster Fuller, one of the foundational texts of contemporary geometry. The resulting piece was a cuboctahedron module that could be assembled in multiple ways obtaining diverse tridimensional structures.

During the collaborative work, we digitally added focal points to the original blueprints introducing a fourth dimension into play changing the direction of initially parallel lines. With this we broke the symmetry and changed the rhythm, allowing the geometry to distend and elongate at our discretion. The newly found forms were first taken to a bidimensional plane given their graphic potential. Then when we translated them into glass we went back to a tridimensional solution, separating the piece into six different modules to still maintain a sense of depth and overlapping. The piece, now very different from the original is a direct variation of it, a deconstruction of the logic that first gave it its structure.

Technique: Fused, water-jet cut and sandblasted glass.
