A long time ago, in the distant
1933, the film King Kong was
released. The wild beast became
a good hero when his feelings
started to reemerge and he
reluctantly had to abandon the
jungle. The cities, New York or
any other, seem to have become
a habit. Kong however is
surprisingly technological and
almost human, he sheds light in
front of himself as if the power
were gone. He is physically out
of size to be a toy or a lamp,
as well as out of size for a
gorilla. Kong becomes a unique
and extraordinary object left
loose in unconfined spaces
and environments. Most of all,
thanks to the imaginative look
created by the designer, he isn’t
scary anymore.
