Summary
At 3daysofdesign in Copenhagen, Danish artist and designer Karl Monies presented an installation of mushroom-like lamps that appeared to grow from the room itself. The pieces feature coppery caps rising from beds of moss and lichen, with light gathering beneath each rim. The objects, marked by rivets, seams, oxidized blues, and earthy browns, sit low to the floor in metal trays with visible cables. The work reflects Monies' long-developed design language that moves between furniture and sculpture.
