Ladislava Repková is a young designer that is currently studying design at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava on Phd program.
The topic her work is intimate lighting. She designed a collection of three lamps, which she didn’t perceived as a means to create an intimate mood, but to represent intimacy itself.
All feelings of intimacy are closely related to a person. His or hers physical and mental realm. That’s is why she focused on the human body and its expressions, gestures and signs ofexpierencing intimacy.
The main means of expression in this collection of lamps is human figure (in light wood to evoke the human skin), which is experiencing a moment of intimacy. Lampshades envisage mysteriousness, privacy and materialize the border of intimate zone.
Each of the lamps is related to another meaning of the word intimacy. Lamp “Relationship”shows close relationship and the confidentiality of two people. The lamp “Body” is concentrated on the intimacy as a personal space of a man – an individual in the meaning of his own body and soul at the same. The lamp “Privacy” represents anonymity and the need for a person to have his or hers own personal space.
