At the prestigious Armory Show 2025, held at the Javits Center in New York City, the esteemed Danish eyewear manufacturer, Lindberg, introduced a distinctive installation. This showcase represents a compelling alliance between contemporary architectural design principles and the exquisite sculptural artistry of Brooklyn-based creator, Yuko Nishikawa. The display elegantly integrates Lindberg's Spring/Summer 2025 sunglasses range, with Nishikawa masterfully reinterpreting the brand's fundamental materials into a series of dynamic, ethereal mobiles.
Nishikawa's inventive approach involved repurposing elements such as laser-cut titanium and meticulously milled acetate, components typically found in eyewear production, into intricate, moving sculptures. These delicate forms, suspended by fine threads, delve into the interplay of illumination, chromatic variations, and mass, echoing the streamlined aesthetics characteristic of Lindberg's renowned minimalist frames.
In her artistic practice, Yuko Nishikawa is celebrated for constructing dreamlike environments filled with vivid and textured creations. Employing a hands-on methodology, she fabricates lively mobiles, three-dimensional artworks, canvases, and lighting fixtures. Her diverse material palette includes reclaimed items, ranging from recycled paper and discarded eyewear lenses to traditional media like clay, wire, and assorted fabrics, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and creative reuse.
The remarkable exhibition at The Armory Show is open to the public from September 5th to September 7th. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in this unique artistic collaboration.
