Matt Gagnon this month in Dwell

September 19, 2011

Friend of FOUR32C, architect, designer Matt Gagnon‘s Prototype Lamp is featured in October’s Dwell magazine. His new product (slash performance) was featured as one of the highlights of New York Design Week. For 5 days in May Matt, and his super cool wife Katrina (hey), were perched in Future Perfect’s windows in Noho constructing custom chandeliers based on the design system he created. We were lucky enough to attend the event and are not so secretly coveting his new creations.

You can see more of his Prototype Lamps at this website.

Congrats Matt!

A new addition to Studio 6G…

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!
