There is some very interesting work coming out of Anthony Caradonna’s studio, in particular, the lighting prototypes that he is developing. The prototypes he is designing produce some interesting ambient qualities via cuts, folds, and overlap-page of material. I can see an incredible opportunity in his work with the play of material finishes in metal. We have featured his Pratt DesignTex Studio in the past, we will look to feature his studio research again in the near future. enjoy>

SuperFoam is a re-creation of naturally occurring reticulated foam structures through a casting process that facilitates designing the properties of the foam itself. By developing the casting process the properties of the foam could be controlled so the chair flexed and deformed to create a supportive structure. Check out the rest of Rich Gilbert’s work and continue reading to see his process video.

Designer Rita Baek’s background in jewelry design has given her a rather experimental approach to design, which is also characterized by the delicate and somehow respectful use of materials. These lampshades made from folding veneer laminated on canvas are above all a remarkable journey in the discovery of an everyday material such as wood. The light filtering through the thin veneer enhances the natural beauty of the wood, while being willingly contrasted by the rigid and unnatural geometrical pattern of the folded surface. The resulting material effectively combines the engaging immediacy of natural wood with the complex nature of the origami-like structural pattern. via Spotd.it read more

We are pleased at core.form-ula to profile Dr.Haresh Lalvani of Pratt Institute. Dr.Lalvani has spent the last 30+ years building an incredibly rich body of work that has pushed design to new limits. Dr.Lalvani has been working on many ideas through out his career, we are only able to feature a small percentage of this work within this profile. Over the course of the next few weeks, we will introduce some more experimental work coming out his Morph Studio and Milgo-Bufkin on core.form-ula.
