Kalpakian’s chiseled geometric linges are the signature of his innovative approach, fusing his oriental roots, his knowledge of design and the decorative arts as well as his passion for the urban contemporary culture. His innovative aesthetic brings the classics back into our homes with a fundamental futuristic twist.
Incarnating this notion of retrofuturism, the ‘Cinétisme’ wall lights are hypnotic pieces flirting with Op’Art and Vasarely’s spirit. These handcrafted, sculptural wall lights play on the contrasts and complementarities between four aluminium finishes: brushed, hammered, guilloched, and lacquered. LEDs lamps are embedded in the aluminium three-dimensional panels - one spot on the small sconce, twenty spots on the large sconce - creating areas of light and shadow as well as the illusion of undulating movement, and transforming the calligraphic method of the decorative arts into work that is as functional as it is artistic.
