OBJ-04 is a modular shelving system. It starts from a steel sheet obtained in commercial format to which only several laser cuts are made to give it the function of displaying objects. It is made of hot rolled steel, which is left raw without eliminating scratches or defects resulting from its manufacture and can grow in any direction, vertically and horizontally, as much as desired. You can display objects or leave the shelf empty as a sculptural piece, eliminating its practical function and increasing its aesthetic ambition.

Obj-03 is born from a sheet of paper, a gesture, a cut, and a fold. The cut, once folded, allows the sheet to stand on its own, without falling, and in turn serves as a screen to receive the light. The led stripe is hidden on the back and contained in a solid steel bar. The weight of this part is essential to give stability to the lamp. Thus, all the parts fulfill an indispensable function for the object. The idea was to design a lamp with the minimum possible elements and a single material, steel. The lamp is composed of a square of 18 gauge sheet metal and on its back, a solid machined steel bar that contains the led lighting. I decided to oxidize the entire lamp to make it matte so that the light reflection would be soft and diffused.

OBJ-02 stool is composed of a repetition of brass tubes. Each one is cut in half and bent independently, creating the seat and legs. The brass is preserved unsealed and with all the defects of its manufacture and handling. Also, when bending the tube halves, the tube must be heated and this creates the darker visible parts of the bench. Over time the entire bench will age and change its appearance.

OBJ-01 is an understandable simple gesture, an object that needs no explanation. At a glance, it reveals its material, its manufacturing process, its function, and its use. A plate of raw brass material cut by laser and assembled by hand with a rubber hammer and no welding joinery, Its size responds to the modulation and format of the material in its commercial standards. Pure geometric figures build the lighting fixture; a rectangle, a circle, and a cylinder at the back which contains the LED light spot. The circle, then cut out, adopts the function of a screen and can rotate 360 degrees to direct the light at will. OBJ-01 is the first solo work by the Valencian designer, resident in Mexico City, Many Bano. It is part of an open collection of simple objects based on the purity of raw materials, industrial processes, and simple gestures that cause a specific function.

The WOMB lighting collection evokes our deep seated feeling of ‘the primal’ and unlocks the unknown potential that is hidden in the cavities of our world while celebrating life through luminescence. “Walking these ancestral grounds prompts a feeling of reverence and mystique for the people who once inhabited the interleaving Stadsaal Caves. Tremendous voids and cracks shaped by the natural elements created shelter for the first humans who settled in this region. I was fascinated and humbled to witness such signs of life depicted through intricate murals on the cave walls. These moments spent in the caves were a revelation for me on both a personal and artistic level, and inspiration for the new collection.”

Parts of the legs were shaped to look like rock extending out of the earth while scarification detailing references a man-made object. The concealed light fitting in the clay body illuminates the sphere and gives the impression of an eye watching.
