ELECTRA LUX
Beirut | 06 October - 26 November
We live in an age of chaos, light-speed pace, and unrelenting noise. We seek out fantasy, nature, and calm in this never-ending storm. We crave distraction; a sweet relief to recharge our spirit. We go in search of light; light that twists and turns, light that dances around the room, bathing it in it's warm embrace. We either revel in the brilliance of the light, or take shelter in its dim glow. We choose what to illuminate, and what to keep hidden in the dark of night. Carwan gallery invites you to explore the works of selected designers who have a shared interest in the relationship between the fantastical and the real.
Featured designer
Vincenzo De Cotiis
Milan, Italy
Vincenzo De Cotiis was born in 1958 in Gonzaga, Italy. He studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milano and founded his studio in 1997.
Considered a pioneer of the international collectible design scene, De Cotiis creates one-of-a-kind and limited-edition projects by hand in his atelier. His interests in the passage of time and historical memory inflect pieces that combine luxurious materials with salvaged fiberglass, stone, and wood. His commitment to Italian craftsmanship has been compared to that of Carlo Scarpa and Gio Ponti.
In 2019 Vincenzo De Cotiis’s work was presented at the Museo Franz Mayer, Mexico City and at the Ca’d’Oro on the occasion of the Venice Biennale.
