lichtzeitraum, biennale vennice

Our entire world is structured by light and shade, time and rhythm, emotion and perception. In lichtzeitraum by Ueberholz it is precisely this spatial perception that is made tangible through light, music and rhythm. Different lighting phases create wide spaces making the vastness tangible or other narrow, close spaces that enclose and restrict you.

The aim of projects by Ueberholz is to give the architecture a feeling of permanence and stability.

Line

One reason for the constructing this chair as a line is that it has to be mingled in any space. It is consisted of a very thin wood frame (3cm), and forms the structure of the two single lines. Simplest form is hiding a very complex structure invisibly. So producers who can be produced this structure are very rare. For this reason, this chair has designated by one craftsman / one chair system.

Double X

This project was made as a live architecture lesson because the balance and the stability of the whole come only when the last piece is installed. By using the traditionnal octagram's pattern from the European Mauresque geometric art, this table is looking to find the best shape for being both aesthetic and structural. And all of that without requiring any screw or glue. The final result reveals the octagram's pattern through the structure, and makes two X on the table, thus explaining the name.

Garuda is the combination of ancient culture and modern technology. Its purpose is to spread out a spiritual and soulful energy through a symbol of fortune. This table is made of glass and metal. The main body of the table can be separated into two parts. One is the structure, which imitates the skeleton of birds. The other is the feather, which combines the traditional craft of “Origami” and application of laser cutting. The tiny, taut holes on the surface present the vividness and flight speed of the bird. White shows its haughty and standoffish outside. Red means the passionate inside.
