UNIGE Genoa,2020.
Our project comes from awareness that a large amount of fruit and vegetables are thrown awa every day. Therefore we decided to go to the market in our area which, under, our request, provided us
with some fruit and vegetables scraps such as: apple, pear, perimmo, grapes, turnip and artichoke. Satrating from these food waste, our idea was to the develop a new material that was able to adapt to a spherical element, that could be resistant and that
could filter the light. There fore we have thought o fan installation consisting of 20 spheres, from wich the name of the project “Spheres”, wich will be placed on metal rods of different height inside wich autonomous LEDs will be present. The goal i sto
create an evocative are awich the space at the Albergo dei Poveri, tank to the lighting, the color range given by the different food scraps and the spherical shake of different sizes.

Food-reinterpretation of luminous jellyfish entirely made of eggshells. The spheres were prepared by applying eggshells to a glass semicircular mould. Dense application of the material made possible creation of a rigid shell. The result became the basis of the light shade.
