ILAN EL

A collection of sculptural creations imbued with memory, reverence of art, and cognitive science. Each piece is a testament to the fusion of artistic inspiration and technological precision, meticulously crafted to illuminate spaces with beauty and functionality. Multidisciplinary designer Ilan El was trained and practised as an architect before moving to Australia in 2005 to join RMIT's Industrial Design Masters program. In 2010, he established ILANEL Design Studio, a product design practice in Melbourne, specialising in the design and production of bespoke luminaires and large-scale light-based installations. Interested in the experiential quality of light and its potential for positive psychological and emotional effects, Ilan explores the colours of the visible spectrum to develop works with playful, interactive and automated elements.

His installations and work have been presented at the Melbourne Design Fair (2023), Melbourne Design Week (2017 - Departures, 2018 - Decoding Design, 2020 - Light+Life, 2021 - Wisdom of Objects, 2022 - Reflections, 2023 - Fragile); Globelight, Melbourne (2013 – 2016).
