Lightstyle/Lifestyle (2010-2017)

Lightstyle/Lifestyle (2010-2017) Investigated the legal framework into what makes an object a relic of non-corporeal value. Objects designed by Tofighi in collaboraiton with the Ordo Orginazare Templi Nouroboros were imbued by contact with sanctified relics. In 2014 Tofighi & Jeffrey Vallance created “4th class relics” of the recently canonized Jean-Paul II by contacting a series of objects blessed by the former pope. A resulting legalistic bond of a forced transcendental materialism of the highest order into low fashion was achieved. The product line ended in 2015, and was further terminated by the destruction of the relics in an apartment fire in 2017
