Open lecture: Daniel Rybakken

Born in 1984, Daniel Rybakken grew up in Oslo, Norway. He studied design at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO) and the School of Arts & Crafts in Gothenburg, Sweden.

On graduating with a Master of Fine Arts in 2008 he started his own practise: Studio Daniel Rybakken, situated in Gothenburg, Sweden. Rybakken has received numerous awards. In 2014 Rybakken became the first Scandinavian designer to receive the Compasso d’Oro by A.D.I.; Italy’s oldest design award. In 2016 he received his second Compasso d’Oro. In 2017 Rybakken was awarded the Torsten och Wanja Söderberg Prize.

The work of Daniel Rybakken occupies the area between art and design, forming limited editions, art installations and prototypes for serial production. His main focus has been to work with daylight and how to artificially recreate its subconscious effect. He is currently working with companies such as Luceplan, Artek, Vitra, Panasonic, Volvo and HAY.

Layers installation, Paris (2012). Light installation by Daniel Rybakken at the Swedish Institute in Paris with opening during Nuit Blanche, October 2012. The installation was realized together with the Norwegian Embassy in Paris and the Swedish Institute, with help from Luceplan. Seemingly freestanding flat surfaces are leant against the facade in the garden of the Swedish Institute in Paris. The minimalistic white and even surfaces become the ultimate contrast to the 16th century-building. The individual objects is bound together by the subtle interplay of light, originating from the centre of the installation. The soft gradient of light emphasizes the differences in material and shape between the composition of layers, and the facade as the background. The Layers installation takes design cues from Rybakken's previous work, as Colour light (designed in collaboration with Andreas Engesvik) with Ligne Roset 2011 and Layers light, presented at Spazio Rossana Orlandi the same year.

Counterbalance, 2011. The idea of a wall-mounted counterbalanced lamp is made possible here through the use of cogwheels. Force is effectively reflected, allowing both counterweight and lamp to occupy the same space. The lamp’s components also become two-dimensional graphic elements in a dynamic installation: counterweight and gears form stark circles intersected by lines of tubing. With a two-meter reach, the lamp’s operational ease arises, in part, from the use of a feather-light 5W LED light source. Photography: Kalle Sanner och Daniel Rybakken.
