Aram / USM Haller
Adaptations, is a group exhibition initiated by Aram in partnership with USM Haller Furniture. Ten UK-based creatives were given an open brief to design a piece for their practice or home life, deviating from the conventional applications of the original USM Haller system.
In response to the brief, Livia designed two pieces using USM Haller: a large floor lamp for her home and a bookshelf for her studio. Her lamp, USMO, has a shade made from freely hanging, Washi, a Japanese paper, which provides a soft contrast to the rigid metal frame. The large, dimmable globe bulb offers both a functional reading light and a warm, ambient glow – and the mid-height shelf offers a rest for books, magazines, or charging devices. For her studio, Livia needed a compact bookshelf to store her favourite reference books. BOCKSHELF uses custom length diagonal support tubes, smaller shelves at the top, and sturdier lower shelves for heavier books. Additionally, it is equipped with castors, meaning it’s easily movable around her space.
