Michael Daube, USA.  Diego Fortunato, UK.

Daube’s latest works, WAVEFORMS,  draw the sublime link between sound and form.  Teaming with designer and artist Fortunato the pair have created an extraordinary collection of unique design pieces.  Employing actual sound waves of spoken word, as well as sounds from nature, the artist transforms the two dimensional pattern into its dictated three dimensional form.   The process reveals poetic correlations between the two separate sensory experiences as well beautifully articulated sculptural forms, which are then realized as functional design objects.  His artworks, paintings and sculptures are also available through ART OBJECTIFIED.

THUNDER LAMP

By recording the sounds of nature the artists have collected a vast library of soundwaves from which they generate three dimensional forms of extraordinary beauty.  Thunder Lamp draws the magnificence of the primary crash of thunder at the top and the resonant rumblings as the eye moves down the piece. At its midpoint an additional crack of distant thunder renders an exquisite circular detail which then trails off until silence at the bottom.

AMORE TABLE

Diego Fortunato also reveals the beauty of the spoken word itself by recording the soundwave of the Italian word for love, amore, for the richly articulated AMORE TABLE.  No two voices or even uttering would ever produce the same finished piece, making each an extraordinarily unique furniture item.  Made from lathe turned and CNC solid wood by artisans in Spain, the table is finished by hand, in ten layers of carefully crafted lacquer.
