Description
The sculptural lamps designed by Eduard Locota had such a powerful impact in the interior design industry; that now they are now build and replicated by thousands all over the world.
The unnatural combination between wood and acrylic glass, a fusion between wood, resin and light, that embrace and complete each other in a frozen surreal way.
A variation of Shou Sugi Ban – an ancient Japanese technique of preserves wood by charring it with fire was used. Shou Sugi Ban mixed with transparent and opaque acrylic glass of red, green, blue, violet, turquoise coloring create a spectacular vibrant interior.
As an artist, I believe Imperfection is Beauty. All the pieces are 100% unique, handmade and distinct, with imperfections and burning names that describe their petrified flaming cores.
A minimalistic luxurious exterior, with a violent and destructive interior. Everything materially unnecessary was eliminated, and all emotions were frozen in time.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
In the current context focused on excessive and unsustainable consumerism, the 21st Century welcomes us with a Darwinian transformation for both men and nature. Evolution which leads to the development of a synthetic man living in a synthetic nature. Heavy topics as regeneration and sustainable environment are thrown into the arms of the future generations, that have not been born yet.
Thus, the artist’s creations highlight the synthesis through alternative materials used, such as: synthetic marble (resin and marble dust), synthetic resin (Plexiglass), synthetic cement (Jesmonite), charcoal, wood, and so on. His works have a powerful conceptual plasticity but also physical plasticity, a concept that can be interpreted as modern works of the 21st Century.
His pieces are sold around the world, belonging to private collectors and royal families.
