Lightbody 04 by Studio Jörg Hugo received the German DESIGN AWARD 2022
I am happy and proud to announce that I received the #germandesignaward2022 for Lightbody 04, a lighting object made out of handblown glass from my lightbody series.
Lightbody 04 as part of my Lightbody Series investigates the role of typology in design. Existing lighting typologies are decomposed, reassembled, and modified based on the interacting forces of pressure and tension during the making of hand-blown glass.
Thanks to two friends and excellent glassmakers Peter Kuchinke @kuchinkepeter and Jesse Guenther @jpaulgun accompanying me all this way!
