Luffa Project / 2022

&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; The Luffa project centers around the Luffa plant - a plant that is in use in Arab cultures since centuries as a bathing sponge.

In search of valorizing Luffa as a material, I am interested in reintroducing nature into the domestic environment and questioning our historic detachment from nature. While synthesizing in these objects, two fundamentally different materials – Luffa and steel – I wish to linger on the tension between the controlled and geometric presence of man-manufactured-materials and the unpredictable and wild qualities of the organic material. Guided by a principle of sustainability, I used traditional natural coloring and embraced its unexpected characteristics, that produces unique and singular objects. 


Saffeer / Luffa project
&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; Saffeer is a pendant light, diagonally suspended. It is made out of dyed Luffa fibers, that are carefully treated, flattened and sewn into a trapezoid shape. By combining two colors in one object, along with two different textures, Saffeer adds a mystical presence to any space.Structured with an inner steel body, this pendant light is designed with durability and sustainability in mind.

Reef / Luffa project&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; Reef is a space divider that acts both as a functional object as well as a sculptural piece.

It is made out of dyed Luffa fibers, that are carefully treated and sewn into a trapezoid shape, in order to create a pattern when assembled together. The plant fibers are durable and biodegradable, allowing both air and light to pass through, while still functioning as a divider. The structure is held by two steel bars.

TK / 1962
From The Structure of Scientific Revolutions
&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; Yet one standard product of the scientific enterprise is missing. Normal science does not aim at novelties of fact or theory and, when successful, finds none. New and unsuspected phenomena are, however, repeatedly uncovered by scientific research, and radical new theories have again and again been invented by scientists. 

&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; The practice of normal science depends on the ability, acquired from exemplars, to group objects and situations into similarity sets which are primitive in the sense that the grouping is done without an answer to the question, “Similar with respect to what?” One central aspect of any revolution is, then, that some of the similarity relations change. Objects that were grouped in the same set before are grouped in different ones afterward and vice versa. Thin
	
k of the sun, moon, Mars, and earth before and after Copernicus; of free fall, pendular, and planetary motion before and after Galileo; or of salts, alloys, and a sulpuhur-iron filing mix before and after Dalton.
