“The Secant project is about visual and semiotic contrast;

the crystal disc communicates something pure, fragile and

elevated in value, whilst the machined aluminium parts and

the pulley communicate the industrial” Daniel Rybakken.

The mobile moves in counter poise. When one disc is lowered

or heightened, the other disc moves in the opposite

direction. It is constructed from hand cut crystal glass

discs, anodised aluminium and is connected together with a

spliced rope. The mobile show the strength, utility and

refractive qualities of glass used in a way that both

builds on and usurps the tradition. It is lit from a

single point above and functions both as an installation

and light piece.

“The Secant project is about visual and semiotic contrast”.

The Secant Wall (1-5), Floor(6-8) and Table Light (9-13) is

a series of hand cut crystal discs suspended and supported

by a metal skeleton linking the crystal glass with the light

engine and the wall or surface below.

The lathed anodised aluminium becomes both a visual, tactile

and also a symbolic contrast to the glass. The LED light

source does not illuminate the disc directly, but is angled

towards the surface behind or beneath the object, reflecting

and diffusing the light back through the glass into the

surrounding space.

Hand Made Mirror (2016)

Mirror by Daniel Rybakken in massive aluminium, hand carved and polished with brass bracket insert. Presented at Spazio Rossana Orlandi during Salone del Mobile in Milan 2016.

Hand Made Mirror, Daniel Rybakken 2016 (Studio Daniel Rybakken)   

“With the Hand Made Mirror I wanted to explore the possibility

of using techniques and visual expressions found and used on

other materials, on a material like aluminium” Daniel Rybakken.

The mirror is carved and shaped by hand as if chiselled out of

a massive block of wood or stone. This almost organic,

un-uniform appearance becomes a stark contract to the mirrors

perfectly plane face. A 180° rotatable brass insert includes

keyholes for wall mounting.
