In the 1980s, Italian industrial designer Alberto Meda former technical director of Kartell, collaborated with Alias on an extremely lightweight chair. Working with carbon fiber and Nomex®, a composite "honeycomb", they began work on a chair that was to be named 'Light Light,' weighing only 1 kg. 50 prototypes were produced of this chair, each a progression from the previous. Due to its extreme lightweight and high-tech appearance, this chair was deemed "un-commercial" and never put into production. This chair is part of the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Catalogue Essay Paulo Laport’s ‘Warm Shade Synchromatic’ invites the viewer to become absorbed into this expanse of color. Its thinly painted surface almost vibrates with energy. Pairing this piece with Meda’s reductive ‘Light Light’ chair invites one to search for hidden possibilities within this ethereal field.
