Arik Levy: Osmosis
Arik Levy is one of the most progressive designers at work today. Honoured by his peers in disciplines ranging from furniture and interior design to lighting, hi-tech clothing and product design,
Levy has also extended his practice as an artist, photographer
and filmmaker. Following previous exhibitions of his design work
at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Jerusalem Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, in April 2009 Levy installed an 80m-long exhibition of sublimely beautiful works – collectively entitled Osmosis – for Swarovski Crystal Palace at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan. This book documents
that installation, which Levy based on the 'chaton' form, that most emblematic of crystal cuts, abstractly transformed here in media ranging from wire-frame superstructures and 450kg marble Floor Jewels, to interactive audio-visual arenas (with soundscapes by Leon Milo) and, of course, archetypal Swarovski crystal.
With a conversation between author Leornard Koren and Arik Levy, texts by writer and designer Suzanne Trocmé, curator Zoë Ryan and composer Leon Milo, and more than 200 illustrations in colour.
