About Coral Blanche Падлогавая лямпа

Coral Blanche — гэта падлогавая лямпа, натхнёная з'явай абясколервання каралаў. Асноўная канструкцыя мае форму абясколеранага марскога веерападобнага каралу, абранага дзякуючы яго структурнай цэласнасці і знешняму выгляду. Дзесяць матавых свеценых лямпачак прымацаваны да канструкцыі і сімвалізуюць ікру, адкладзеную каралавымі рыбамі. Корпус вырабы выраблены з біяраскладальных крухмальных сумесяў. Лямпу можна размясціць у гасцёўні для асвятлення падлогі або сцяны. Памеры Coral Blanche складаюць 1771 міліметр у шырыню і 1547 міліметраў у вышыню. Дызайн звяртае ўвагу на праблему абясколервання каралаў — глабальную праблему, звязаную з павышэннем тэмпературы акіяна.

Unique Properties
Coral Blanche is a lighting design project intended to explore Coral Bleaching in design language. Coral Bleaching is associated with a whitening phenomenon. Ironically, the whitening process is the transient beauty due to corals' effort to survive. When algae displacement is prolonged, corals' starvation continues on. These bleached corals then soon become decayed, eventually resulting in destruction of coral reefs.

Production Technology
The main body is constructed with biodegradable blends, and frost LED bulbs are used for lighting.
Design Challenge
The initial challenge came from selecting the right coral shape as a main structure in association with light bulbs. As a result, a sea fan coral was chosen for its structural integrity and aesthetic beauty. And the second challenge was a material choice. Biodegradability was the key for the material used. Corn-based PLA (polyactic acid) was initially considered, but it was rejected due to its non-biodegradability (compostable in a controlled condition). Biodegradable (preferably starch) blends were then selected.
Research
Coral Blanche is a design study to explore Coral Bleaching. Coral Bleaching is a global crisis as most coral reef habitats could experience extinction by 2100. It examines the transient beauty of Coral Bleaching and its dire consequence, extensive marine life degradation.
Inspiration
The project was inspired by Coral Bleaching. Coral Bleaching is a global issue that a macro scale of coral reefs experience a whitening phenomenon devastated by the rise of ocean temperature. The Coral Bleaching process is initiated by polyps displacing algae in the coral tissues, subsequently leading to coral's starvation and death.
Project Duration
The project began in May 2020 and finished in June 2020 in Banff, Canada.
Operation Flow
Coral Blanche is a floor lamp, ideally placed in a living room for floor lighting or wall lighting. Its main structure is designed to be a bleached sea fan coral and ten LED bulbs are affixed to the structure. The light bulbs represent eggs laid by coral fishes. These eggs light up their lives while being exposed to potential threats as their cradles are rapidly perished.
