About Magic Primary Function: Suga sa Lamesa

Ang Magic usa ka suga sa lamesa nga gidasig sa natural nga porma sa uhong nga Liberty Cap. Ang landong niini gi-3D print gikan sa plastik nga hinimo sa tanom, ug ang suga nga moagi sa landong nagpasiugda sa nagliko-likong konsentrikong mga linya nga nabilin sa proseso sa pag-print. Ang morag mga hasang sa uhong nga anaa sa ilalom sa ulo gi-3D print usab. Ang punoan ug ang tungtunganan gikulit sa kamot gikan sa lokal nga tinubdan nga gahi nga kahoy, mao nga ang matag piraso talagsaon. Tulo ka lebel sa kahayag ang mapili gamit ang touch sensitive nga dimmer nga natago sa tungtunganan. Ang suga adunay sukod nga 150 sa 150 sa 650 milimetro.

Design Challenge
Carving the wood to create a thin stem and # dimensional curve without cutting into the cable within.
Research
After picking this mushroom in the fields of South Bohemia, the designer experienced its 'magical' psychedelic effects. The mushrooms appeared to him to glow and pulsate with a kind of 'life force'. He decided to capture this experience by using its form as a lamp design, the electricity and light bringing it to life. To create this the designer aimed to innovatively combine 3D printing technology with the hand crafted wooden form so the entire piece could be produced in house, with ecological materials. Research and experimentation were carried out in his workshop and with design software.
Inspiration
The natural form of the Liberty Cap (Psilocybe Semilanceata) a potent psychedelic mushroom inspired this design. Scientists have been recently discovering the powerful healing potential of this mushroom, and they are increasingly being used therapeutically around the world. As it's significance to our human experience becomes ever more understood, the form of this mushroom becomes more recognizable, carries more meaning, and deserves attention.
Project Duration
The design work began in early 2020 in Ceske Budejovice, Czechia, and completed at the end of 2020. It has been on sale at Etsy since January 2021.
Operation Flow
The Magic Lamp has a three stage dimmer switch operated by touching any part of the metal base.
