Slicing Stem
Architonic ID: 20797749
With Slicing, the Bjarke Ingels Group deconstructs the iconic silhouette of the successful Gople luminaire family and transforms it into a corrugated structure of stacked aluminum slats. They are connected to each other by a flexible wire so that the luminaire can be folded flat and as little packaging material as possible is required for shipping.
The purpose of sustainable use of materials is also supported by the different sizes of the six versions, which are available as pendant, wall and floor lamps and can be used both indoors and outdoors. The dimensions of the different versions are not only determined by aesthetic proportions, but also by the desire to avoid any waste of material during production. The light generated by the LED is controlled by a lens that distributes it with slightly descending optics on the row of slats. From there, the rays are directed into the body and then reflected into the room, which they bathe in a soft, diffused light. The emission is perfectly calibrated, which means that the luminaire is characterized by low light pollution outdoors.

Biography Bjarke Ingels, Architekt Bjarke Ingels started his own office in 2005, Bjarke Ingels Group, after having co-founded PLOT Architects in 2001 and collaborating with Rem Koolhaas at OMA. Through a series of award-winning design projects and buildings, Bjarke Ingels has created an international reputation as a member of a new generation of architects that combine shrewd analysis, playful experimentation, social responsibility and humour. In 2004 he was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale for the Stavanger Concert House, and the following year he received the Forum AID Award for the VM Houses. His latest completed project the Mountain Dwellings has already received numerous awards and nominations in 2008, most recently at the World Architecture Festival. By practicing what Bjarke Ingels likes to describe as ’programmatic alchemy’, BIG often mixes conventional ingredients such as living, leisure, working, parking and shopping into new forms of symbiotic culture. Alongside his architectural practice, Bjarke has been active as a Visiting Professor at Rice University’s School of Architecture and most recently at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. Jakob Lange, Architekt Jakob Lange is an Associate and has been collaborating with Bjarke Ingels since 2003. He counts among one of the pioneers at PLOT.

The project has just been awarded at the 2008 World Architecture Festival in Barcelona. Furthermore, Jakob has been a Project Leader at BIG for a wide range of projects such as two Ski Resort projects, SKI and LIL, both situated in Norway. In addition to his skills as a Design Architect, Jakob has led website designs for PLOT & BIG, which were nominated for a Cyber Lion at the 2004 Cannes Advertising Festival.
