VALODI

VALODI is a brand of Aron Kovacs. VALODI is a multidisciplinary workshop, with a mission of sustainable functional art and spatial design. VALODI’s work is driven by the transformation and rebirth of materials, forms, and structures.

VALODI objects emerge from an abstract understanding of form and space. The VALODI brand places great emphasis on contrasts and thus on the relationship between the functional and the irrational.

While building a birdhouse one spring, his attention was drawn to PVC as a material—easy to work with and readily available in large quantities. Several ideas came to mind for its use, and he initially chose to create lamps due to their relatively small size. The bases of the lamps are made from concrete, which includes a large amount of crushed debris from previous experiments. The robust textile cables became a defining feature of the lamps’ character. Each lamp body was hand-shaped after heating the PVC, making every piece unique.
