Vestigi 01 belongs to a collection set in Midtopia, a dull and boring near-futuristic world between utopia and dystopia, adjacent to Michel Foucault’s concept of heterotopia. Early science fiction imagined a techno-Garden of Eden, but our view shifted toward a decaying world driven by wars and anthropocenic events; the collection asks what if the future were neither good nor bad, but just mid. It revolves around a 2052 short story in which a protagonist, surviving by selling their memories to a sadistic superintelligence, suddenly contemplates escape from a sanitised purgatory.
The floor lamp is composed of three repeating modules suggesting the invisible infrastructure of the city: air-conditioning units, electrical boxes, industrial ducts. Suspended between ancient and futuristic, utilitarian and obsolete, the modules carry hand-sculpted additions and are weathered with a blend of underglaze, glaze and metal. Their interior apertures are lined with Japanese Kozo paper, whose diffusion and organic grain counter the rigid housing.
