Fantasy in Scarlet and Black
”When I lay eyes on Dr. Nik’s Structuresticks my mind lights up,
for contained within the airy boundaries of these exotic sculptures are a
lifetime of romantic symbolism. Like a schoolgirl making up stories, the cherry
marbles become my beating heart, safely locked up in some Don Juan’s
castle. With caged desire I play hard to get but then suddenly the black scaffolded
sticks become a titanium skyscraper, thrusting into the clouds in Utopia where
the men are all geniuses and the women forever young. I don red lipstick and
a little black dress. My date arrives in a black limo and black suit and we
take the elevator to dine in the sky. As the candles become rockets I catch
myself daydreaming.”
A Study in Decorative Science
Spires of Bakelite composite are computer cut in Dr. Nik’s NYC studio
and the 2D parts are modularly assembled into a 3D structure. Every detail
from the glass balls that add necessary mass to the ergonomic handles arise
from functional requirements, guided by Nik’s intuition and background
in designing complex molecules from only a few basic units.
I Came. I Saw. I Consumed.
“When I got home the choice of candles was obvious. Red! I love the way
the wine colored globes become little TV screens, each containing a rose tinted
black and white movie of my room as I saunter by. I got a Foursome but had
to grab a Solo as well since the cute little thing converts into a bud vase
too! A single rose now cheers me up all day long. I love carrying the candelabra
around by its stalk like I live in a castle. When I got carried away and dripped
some wax it fell on the bobeche (”bow-besh”) dishes, which are easy
to clean.”
The Structurestick Solo converts to a bud vase too with the included Pyrex test tube:
