Wave Lounge by Eduard Locota. Turquoise-Blue Acrylic Glass Sculptural Design
-
Description
Once upon a time, in the middle of the Ocean, on a very still day, while the sun was shining, a wave has appeared. Why did the wave appear exactly at that place and time? Nobody knows.
What we know for centuries, is that the Ocean is never still, and always has waves at the horizon. We know that a wave is only energy. Energy transmitted through particles of water, causing it to swirl into an endless circular motion. And if not obstructed, waves have the potential to travel across an entire ocean basin.
The story of the Wave Lounge was born once upon a time, while gazing at the never-ending blue horizon. Inspired by the vast energy of the wind and sea strongly colliding together, the idea of this monolithic functional sculpture was thus born.
The concept
As a piece of the Ocean, a strong presence of mass was needed in the style of Wave Lounge. The twist of a wave near braking point, encapsulated in time, that will completely charm the viewer’s eyes.
With a total neglect for traditional design, this fully functional design piece will undoubtedly generate emotions. Be prepared to take a large slice of wave right into your home.
Build process
Build fully by hand, with acrylic glass as a primary material. For each piece, literally over 200 Kg of material was used for this monolithic functional artwork. it is necessary to pour over 60 colored layers of liquid acrylic on top of each other for a period of over 20 days.
Each Wave Lounge is entirely made by Eduard Locota himself (Important: not from artisans or craftsmens), from acrylic glass. Each artwork is unique and accompanied with a certificate of authenticity signed and dated by the artist. After each 3 consecutive layers of acrylic, a decorative layer is then added. This blue-turquoise design layer is representing the irregular energy and hue of a wave. It’s an incredibly labor intensive and detailed process. Hand sculpted, sanded from the hardest to the smallest grit, and then polished to perfection give birth to Wave Lounge.
Build process takes about 2 months for each Wave Lounge.
