Matt Gagnon – product designer, architect, educator, craftsman – designs tactile, organic, interactive objects and spaces that feel instantly relatable and inspire contemplation.
One of Gagnon’s convertible, ceramic chandeliers now graces FOUR32C’s conference room. We think its articulated array of smooth, subtly variant bone-colored nodes recall exposed vertebrae, with electrical conduits and bulbs completing a neural network. Unlike our human spines, however, no spongy discs cushion the structures as they rest against each other creating an unsettling visceral reaction for our kinetically attuned team. Still, realists that we are, the tension between the uncomfortable bodily sensations and the object’s visual and utilitarian beauty give us lots to think about (and sense) between meetings.
Thanks Matt!
