Designer Arik Levy unveils 'floating' sculpture at London Design Festival

Designer Arik Levy’s crafts a floating black iceberg for the London Design Festival

The centrepiece explores the horizontal and vertical parameters of our living environment.

Surface design is an exciting arena at the moment, and Israeli-born, Paris-based artist and multi-disciplinary designer Arik Levy is breaking new ground.

Levy, in collaboration with luxury surfaces company Compac, is presenting a new installation at Somerset House as a part of Design Frontiers during London Design Festival.

The designer's new masterpiece is a minimalist setting that will explore the dialogue between the horizontal and vertical parameters of our living environment.

The centrepiece of the installation is a massive sculptural mono-block mineral quartz kitchen island that “floats” within the space like a black iceberg—appearing as though it has been carved from one block of quartz.

Thin vertical slices of different quartz-based slabs of Compac quartz and marble forms the backbone of the installation. The installation will also feature an audio-visual presentation that journeys through the history of Compac.

The London Design Festival is on till September 24.
