Eash - Products made for a specific event -

"Eash" means man in Hebrew. Tal Gur designed a plastic light fixture for the big tumult, around the turn of the millennium. Although nothing happened,  the product was designed to reflect the anxiety of people towards the unknown. The wee light fixtures look up the sky in different directions making a whole composition. I like  how the designer thought about the event and made a product reflecting it, but it does not narrow the usability of the product, since it stands as an appealing product after the event likewise.
After the event passed and nothing happened Tal Gur designed a smiling version of this product.

Designed and manufactured in 2000 by rotation modeling. Its mold made of a fixed bottom part, a stylized human shaped body and the head part that is able to rotate around the fixed body.
Dimensions in cm: H60,W30,D20.
It is a really simple product, easily manufactured, serves a purpose other than the specified event and from my point of view it has interesting aesthetics.
