“LOEWE Lamps” Spotlights 24 Visionaries at Palazzo Citterio
During Loewe’s 8th presentation during the much-anticipated global design week, “LOEWE Lamps” will debut the latest artistry of 24 visionaries and their visceral connection to the illustrious maison. On view at the majestic Palazzo Citterio, inspired creatives including Young Soon Lee (South Korea), Chikuunsai Tanabe IV (Japan), Anne Low (Canada), Andile Dyalvane (South Africa), Ann Van Hoey (Belgium), Akiko Hirai (Japan), and Alvaro Barrington (Venezuela) will offer a diverse collection of lamps fully embracing their thought-provoking explorations and imaginations. Genta Ishizuka (Japan), the 2019 winner of the LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize, unveils a suspended style lightsource in the sculptural, organic shape of a bronze shell; embellished with a glimmering lacquer, golden hues radiate from its heart. In contrast, distinguished ceramicist Dame Magdalene Odundo (Kenya) reveals skillful leather-work with a vibrant hanging creation in which angular points of interest diverge from a sturdy, central column.
