The light of change

A designer walks from one empty room to another, holding the Buds lamps he has designed for Foscarini, old friends in a move that is partly a mental one.

Moving house is a mini cathartic journey, a measured shifting of things that is also a mental transition. It forces us to redefine the codes of our surrounding environment, make decisions and choices, and remodulate our relationship with space and the way we use it. Most of all, it is an act that takes us back to the beginning of things.

Moving house casts fresh light on our existence. As Rodolfo Dordoni reminds us walking through the empty rooms of his new life space (in his arms are several versions of the Buds blown-glass lamp he designed for Foscarini), it is “a periodical need, a necessity for an ongoing inner journey. You do not simply move objects from one place to another, you reset yourself through them. You have to know which ones you want to take as companions on your journey. With me and like me, these objects adapt to the place and time, becoming new again in a different adventure. So, we are at home again.”

This evolutional passage is essentially the same as that of the path of a designer, a good designer, because designing is never staying in the same place. It is seeking other places, shifting the objects of thought from a familiar place to another unexpected one and, during this luminous transition, always resetting ourselves through these objects.
