*This is a made to order piece and it will be shipped in 8-12 weeks. WONDER THINGS “Wonder Things” is an ongoing collection of unique illuminated pieces. The collection’s aim is to impact the viewer’s emotional state through introspection. We intended to engage the viewer in self-reflection in order to connect them to the present moment. Experimenting with shape and light reflecting on surfaces helped us enhance the effect. Each piece is made in gypsum, using layering techniques resulting in unpredictable and unique finishes. The inspiration for the collection came from traditional Japanese approach to life. IKIGAI The Japanese concept of "Ikigai," which means "life's purpose," served as the inspiration for the lamp. After living in Japan for multiple years we decided to create a contemporary piece which embodies the traditional Japanese philosophy of well-being. Human’s true purpose in life is represented by the light inside the form. The sculptural form allowed to introduce complexity into how light spreads and achieves multi-toned surfaces.The sphere softens the light and emphasises the idea of self-discovery. The object's heavy mass symbolises how our purpose is deeply concealed under a thick crust requiring to be carved. The main challenge in creating the object was to shape the piece in a form where the story could flow between perspectives, without a beginning or an end. The piece had to be carved while suspended in air to achieve continuity.

Studio AOAO is an interdisciplinary studio combining art and design. It was created by Alicja Strzyzynska and Onur Iseri in Amsterdam in 2020. “We specialise in making sculptural pieces by experimenting with the functionality of sculpture and the meaning of furniture. In our works, we focus on the emotional connection between the object and the user. All of our work seeks the experience of intimacy and the metaphysical bond between personal interaction and meaningful narrative. Through sculptural value and reflective design, we aim to create pieces that last for generations and help reduce environmental waste.” The inspiration to sculpt came from Alicja’s roots, her grandfather – an artist sculptor. The studio’s first collection debuted at Rossana Orlandi Gallery during Milan Design Week 2021. The studio currently collaborates with RO Gallery and Galerie Philia.
