Interviews
Design Interview
What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
The summary of the general idea is the creation of new materials that emanate natural perfume, natural color, or even an unfinished natural texture. Finding ecological materials with properties both in shape, color, texture, perfume. Touch it for texture, and Smell it for perfume. The fragrance of the lavender flowers make the object flow. Besides the fresh smell and the deep color, lavender is always associated with the idea of relaxation and well-being.
What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
I wanted to achieve the fragrance. I wanted a natural and sustainable material with perfume. Focused on consumer, the object is part of the sensory design through texture and smell and has an ecological purpose.
What are your future plans for this award winning design?
My plan in the near future is to implement my work worldwide. Right now, I'm working on my online store. I will focus on the business, and then I will start making new experiments and projects.

- Production Technology
- In addition to the lavender bulk seeds, was used pulp wood paste(recycled), based on cellulose, which becomes very easy to manipulate and model and which is a sustainable alternative. Overall, a lamp is made from 85/90% seeds / 10/15% wood paste. The lavender is from a romanian field located near the city Alba Iulia.
Eco Lighting possibility: Led light bulb. - Design Challenge
- The hardest part of the project was finding the way to produce the new material made from lavender seeds, which will withstand time and degrade beautifully. I made different experiments to create a strong fragrance.
- Research
- Essential element, lavender. Besides the fresh smell and the deep color, lavender is always associated with the idea of relaxation and well-being. The effects of lavender are also found and used in medicine. The lavender buds even if they are already in the area of conservation, drying, do not lose their properties and you can intensify the smell by spraying with lavender water the shape of the lamp when is not in the use mode. The material made absorbs water in a short time and if you use the warm light for the lamp, the smell intensifies quickly in the room. The insight is to connect for disconnect the stress.
- Inspiration
- The summary of the general idea is the creation of new materials that emanate natural perfume, natural color, or even an unfinished natural texture. The successful experiment can have a great social and environmental impact. Finding ecological materials with properties both in shape, color, texture, perfume. Focused on consumer, the object is part of the sensory design through texture and smell and has an ecological purpose.
- Project Duration
- The project lasted 4 months from the first sketches to production. It started in January 2019 in Bucharest and it ended in April 2019 in Bucharest. It was officialy presented at Romanian Design Week 2019 in May. After that, was exhibited at Sensoria - The Exhibition at Cluj Design Days & Timisoara Design Days, Romania, same year.
- Operation Flow
- Touch it for texture, and Smell it for perfume. The fragrance of the lavender flowers make the object flow. The user has the choice to leave the lamp as they find it, after unpacking, or use the water lavender for intensify the perfume when the light is off. The second option is that the user can choose which kind of light bulb prefer. If the user pick a bulb with warm light, the perfume of the lamp will feel more intense, without the need of the water essence.
