The installation WILD\LIGHT stages the RADO Shop Wien at Kärntner Straße 18 during Vienna Design Week 2020 and shows the subtle connection between moss and light. As the central element in the room, everything revolves around WILD\LIGHT No. 1, a luminous moss ball as a light object. Amidst the moss that stretches from the display cases across the presentation areas, WILD\LIGHT is therefore also visible from the outside through the shop window and draws the viewer into the shop.
The central element in the room is the luminous moss sphere WILD\LIGHT No. 1. The traces of light seem to flow slowly down the surface of the moss sphere, making WILD\LIGHT No. 1 look like a globe whose rivers are illuminated. The transparent fibre optics emit their light over their surface and meander through the raised moss sections. In addition, the warm light amidst the sublime green brings a piece of true nature into the interior.
The mirror placed under WILD\LIGHT No. 1 creates interesting reflections. Depending on the viewer’s point of view, it is thus possible to perceive a wide variety of perspectives in the room through the circular mirror on the sales counter in the centre of the room: from the delicately illuminated moss ball WILD\LIGHT No. 1 to the shop window, the display cabinets or even oneself. This also creates playful situations for the viewer while exploring the space.
The hand-made installation is very delicate and appeals to all the senses. The structure of the cushion moss itself is just as fine, making the installation appear very delicate. The different shades of green fascinate and soothe the eye, seemingly creating a completely natural landscape.
Wildes Moos and ATARA design have joined forces to show the elements of moss and light artistically combined. As a result it is light art with natural material. The installation WILD\LIGHT expresses this successfully within the framework of the Vienna Design Week 2020.
On view during the Vienna Design Week 2020:
24.9. to 5.10.2020 at the Rado Shop Wien, Kärntner Str. 18, 1010 Vienna.
Shops and restaurants as well as reception areas and lounges in hotels can be transformed into a delicately glowing natural landscape with the WILD\LIGHT installation. This allows the theme of nature to be brought into the interior and is easy to implement visually. However, all this is done subtly and without losing the view within the overall space.
