Andromeda's Fluxus
Karim Rashid worked with the artist Michela Vanello whose inspiration and creative mind gave shape to the concept of the sculpture. Karim Rashid designed the Knit, with 80,000 individual hand-made glass elements to produce a unique glass sculpture, with an apparently fluid surface that seems to move and flow in the air. Its wave conceals an almost invisible mesh of 5,000 dot-like halogen bulbs that generate capillary lighting.
Technologically advanced objects of art cleverly conceal their mechanisms and connection systems and the intricately knitted mesh design of metal, plastic and glass creates a very modern strong and malleable material. A fabric of energy which covers 646 square feet and flows through points and lines to generate the expression of motion in space.
