Who doesn't want their own personal zig zag?
I wrote to WAKA WAKA & IKO IKO, and asked them
about their Sottsass inspired zig zags!
"The MEMPHIS movement and especially Ettore Sottsass' works are undoubtedly on our list of influences--especially this particular lamp It always gets a WOW and serves as a good reminder to show how to bring the "unexpected" into a space, how to add a(n) exclamation point(s), how to appreciate the exaggerated shapes/angles/patterns/colors as a recognizable but turned vocabulary.
When my best friend's sheets were a mash up of Memphis prints, it was just an 80's thing, but now it all makes sense...a real mind liberator.
We made the "PERSONAL ZIG ZAG" as the first shape in what we envision as an ongoing 3D wall drawing, with scallops, dashes, and dots as part of the "full wall package." Soon you can buy it as a grouping with install instructions and suggested layout."
