The Design

About Spike Lampica

Spike lampica se igra sa kontrastima. Odražava punk kulturu, ali ipak smiruje skandinavsko raspoloženje. To je opsežan komad, ali toplo se svjetlo fokusira u mali šiljati prostor ispod komada. Spike lampica ima agresivan izgled zbog metalnih šiljaka koji su usmjereni prema gledaocu. Istovremeno, postoji nešto mirno u glatkoći keramičke površine i toplom svjetlu. Svjetiljka stvara napetost u unutrašnjosti. Kao pojedinac iz subkulture.

Inspiration: The Spike lamp is inspired by social distancing and fashion subcultures. The core of the design is also mimicing the contrariety of nature, how simplicity becomes complexity.

The main materials used in the Spike lamp are mold made ceramic sphere and metal spikes. Both materials have shiny surface that reflect the environment of the object. The interior of the lamp is contrasting to the outer area, because it has a warm and smooth texture.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2019 in Helsinki and finished in May 2020.
Operation Flow: The Spike lamp has a aggressive appearance because of the metal spikes pointing towards the viewer. At the same time there is something calm about the smoothness of the ceramic surface and warm light. The lamp creates tension in a interior.
