About Talash Sustainable And Decorative Pendant
Talash is a pendant lamp made from pressed brass shavings. The shavings are a byproduct of machining, collected from factory production and compressed under high pressure into solid shades. The compressed texture is different in every piece and creates varying light patterns as the angle and intensity of the light change. A clear lacquer or a nano-ceramic coating protects the brass from oxidation and keeps its golden tone. Each fixture weighs about three to five kilograms and uses LED-compatible fittings with warm or neutral light.

- Production Technology
- It utilizes a high-pressure pressing technique to transform brass shavings into solid, structured forms suitable for lighting fixtures. The process involves collecting the daily production of approximately tons of brass shavings from the factory, which are then compressed into durable shapes. To prevent oxidation and ensure the longevity of the brass components, a clear protective lacquer is applied after pressing. Alternatively, a nano-ceramic coating can be used to provide an eco-friendly and long-lasting protective layer while maintaining the natural metallic appearance.
- Design Challenge
- The primary challenge in the Talash project was determining the optimal pressure and process for pressing the brass shavings into stable forms without compromising the visual texture. Balancing durability with the delicate appearance of the compressed shavings required precise technical adjustments and several rounds of prototyping.
- Research
- The research behind the 'Talash' focused on exploring ways to repurpose industrial waste into aesthetically appealing design objects. By leveraging the inherent beauty of brass shavings, the project aimed to highlight the potential of discarded materials in creating high-quality decorative lighting. The methodology included extensive material experimentation, technical feasibility studies, and collaboration with manufacturing partners to refine the pressing and finishing processes.
- Inspiration
- Talash was born from a vision of transformation, elevating industrial remnants into refined design. By reclaiming brass shavings, a byproduct of machining, it unveils the hidden beauty within discarded materials. Through high-pressure compression, raw fragments are reshaped into a striking pendant that embodies sustainability and craftsmanship. Retaining its organic texture, Talash preserves its essence while symbolizing the pursuit of new possibilities in overlooked materials.
- Project Duration
- The 'Talash' project started in early 2024 and was completed in mid-2024 ın Istanbul, Türkiye. The project involved close collaboration between design and production teams, focusing on material research, prototyping, and manufacturing processes.
- Operation Flow
- Lighting fixtures in the Talash Collection are designed for both residential and commercial use. Installation is straightforward: the compressed brass shade is mounted on a compatible fixture base. The luminaire can be turned on and off using a switch integrated into the power cable. The texture of the pressed brass creates varying light patterns, offering an interactive visual experience that changes with different lighting angles and intensities.
