Master Architect Frank Gehry Designs Koi Lamps Gracefully “Swimming” in Mid-Air
Like most work from Architect Frank Gehry, these Koi Fish lamps on view at the Gagosian Gallery in Rome are absolutely stunning.

In 2012, Gehry revisited his Fish Lamps series and created an entirely new school of them. Like his designs from the 20th century, he constructed them using a material called ColorCore, a laminate often used for countertops or desks. The updated pieces are each made by hand and feature a combination of curled and flexed elements. When lit, they cast a warm glow that travels throughout the Gagosian Gallery space—here, his pieces hang from the ceiling and rest slightly elevated above the floor.
