Designer lamp COMIC 2 from Strala

Our passion for awakened thoughts, the joy of research and the fascination for the essence of matter are the driving force behind the emergence of our objects. The spirit of Strala is that of a seeker who is constantly challenged to get closer to the cause of the substance and to understand what is hidden COMIC 2 behind the curtain. Strala pursues the scent of an intriguing idea, not to kill her, but to breathe life into her.

Where different worlds collide, the frictional forces that we create through our object art & amp; Furniture materialize. Because precisely there, the thought is no COMIC 2 longer black or white – it is completely free of values. For a fraction of a moment, there is that immediacy which contains neither knowledge nor meaning, and is therefore more sensuous than anything else in the world.

In recent years, Strala has created a unique collection of art objects that is independent of short-lived trends and constraining norms. Strala’s objects are acknowledged and appreciated as timeless, precise and attractive works of art and use. This is Strala’s DNA.

Chopped time

Whether studies of a bird’s flight or the growth of a tree, hacking and re-composing of time allows us to analyze movement. And as we take closer looks at these movements we get precious chance to see processes in its pattern and sequences and therefore seize a feeling for things which usually are invisible to our eyes. Where there used to be nothing reflection now is becomes possible. It’s an incredibly beautiful oxymoron to me that precisely this frozen moment expands our idea of movement into new horizons. It’s as if cessation/ standstill was movement. Herein lies the fascination of my standing lamp COMIC designed in 2009. Its power cable follows the dynamic line illustrating the comic characters hopping and jumping. A sculptural fusion of standstill and movement.
