HISTORY
i{n}stance is a spin-off brand from idz arhitectura which focuses on digital design and fabrication for product design and jewellery, by blending traditional craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technology. An “Instance” stands for the particular, the {n}th is an element in a sea of multiple possibilities, a specific occurrence which was deliberately chosen.
SPECIFIC
i{n}stance is a brand which aims to create unique, individual products, by using algorithmic design strategies and digital fabrication.
ROMANIAN DESIGN WEEK APPEARANCES
2019 // Aggregate Cells luminaires
The Aggregate Cells luminaires combines computational design with digital fabrication means and subjective aesthetics. The intent was to explore methods of aggregation of volumetric cells with a regular repetitive geometry that are set free by deformation. Thus, cells lose their uniformity, but maintain geometric relations. By transforming stable and uniform structures, a familiar but altered image is gained, focused on topological deformation and on the new redefined relations between cells.
The Aggregate Cells luminaires are born from a process based on feedback between concept, geometry and material, all of which are translated into code. The shape, material and method of materialization bear the fingerprint of the digital environment; thus, the filiform and porous structures are generated using computation and made by 3D printing in ABS plastic that are manually assembled using brass pipes and accessories.
