Material’s description
The luminous fiber ESKA is an optical fiber made with plastic. It differs from the quartz-type and easily used in large diameter processes as well as flexible and easy to work with. The transfer functions for light through its fibers are not limited to communication applications, but may also be applied to set a soft impression.
Point of Design (words by artist Nicolas Gwenael)I wanted to create a material out of fiber that become alive and alight when interact with people. A fabric that give me the possibility to create an object which exists only when desired. The material become information controlled by the time and the movement. The information is not on the surface but within the material itself; light becomes the vital fluids that glow and flow within the transparent veins. The surface express its desire to communicate with its surroundings: the eyes of the sensors detect the movement of the visitor. As he gets closer the surface glows softly from emptiness, it follows the visitor’s movement and grow gradually to finally reveal its real identity, a long bench, a mist of light floating in the dark.The veins of light are delicately crafted by hand, the precision and consistency are required to guide the light within the right curvature of the fiber, a communion between the most advanced technology and the dexterity of craftsmanship. The complexity of technologies applied in the concept totally disappears-only thye experience remains, unique, sensorial.
