About Sukun Funzione Primaria: Lampada da Tavula Ricaricàbile

Testu: Sukun hè una lampada da tavula fatta in travertinu è sviluppata attornu à mutivi geomètrichi truvati in certi edifizii sceltii in Turchìa è in Spagna. Sei mutivi sò trattati nantu à a piastra superiore per formà una emissione di luce di 2700K. A lampada dà luce versu l'altu è versu u bassu, creendu un'illuminazione ambientale è una luce di travagliu nantu à a superficia cù un abbagliamentu limitatu. A lavurazione à ghjettu d'acqua è CNC sò aduprate per furmà l'apertura di i mutivi è mantene a prisenza di u materiale. Sukun hè destinatu à i lochi di lettura, à i spazii di soggiornu è à e tavule di l'ospitalità.

Production Technology
Body in Turkish travertine. The patterned top is cut by waterjet and refined with cnc machining; edges are hand finished. An integrated led module provides 2700k warm light in up and down directions. A concealed rechargeable power system enables cordless use and supports indoor and outdoor scenarios.
Design Challenge
The main challenge was machining fine perforations in travertine without chipping while maintaining sufficient thickness and structural stability. Light quality required iterations to reduce hotspots and glare by balancing pattern density with up and down emission, and integrating the rechargeable system inside a minimal stone volume.
Research
Type of research: material and pattern study.
Research objectives: apply Islamic geometric patterns to travertine and filter 2700K light for calm use.
Methodology: analyze six sites, reconstruct motifs with Eric Broug resources, prototype.
Data collection and research tools used: photos, cad, waterjet, cnc, light tests.
Participants or experiments: six pattern variants.
Results, insights and impacts: pattern density shapes comfort and the stone character remains.
Effect of the research in real life: portable stone lighting for reading and dining.
Inspiration
Sukun was inspired by Islamic geometric motifs encountered while growing up in Turkiye and a desire to see this pattern language beyond wood, especially on travertine and stone for everyday use. Guided by Eric Broug studies, six motifs were reinterpreted from sites in konya, kayseri, karaman, cordoba, valladolid, and granada.
Project Duration
The project started in November 2025 in Istanbul, Turkiye and was completed in February 2026 in Istanbul, Turkiye.
Operation Flow
The lamp is placed on a table and operated via a simple control. When switched on, 2700K warm light passes through the carved pattern to create a soft ambient glow upward, while the downward component provides functional illumination on the surface. The light is designed to be comfortable for reading, resting, and dining.
