Luno, which means “curve” in Latin, is a part of Il Hoon Roh’s carbon fiber Rami series. The inspiration for the series derived from the artist’s fascination with the rigidity and lightness of a bird skull which led to his long-term study of lightweight, structurally optimized and efficient forms that are found in nature, which have been formed and tested through the evolutionary process.

The artist created the curvature in Luno through numerous experiments involving a string stretching technique replicating the “form follows function” principle. To generate the geometries of the design, the artist utilized gravity to allow Luno to take its final form in a natural manner. The result is an ideal shape and natural, beautiful angles similar to the efficient curvatures found in nature.
