The Design
About Spike Lampa
Spike lampa hraje s kontrasty. Reflektuje punkovou kulturu, ale uklidňuje skandinávskou náladu. Je to objemný kus, přesto je teplé světlo zaostřeno do malé špičaté oblasti pod kusem. Lampa Spike má agresivní vzhled, protože kovové hroty směřují k divákovi. Současně je něco klidného o hladkosti keramického povrchu a teplém světle. Lampa vytváří napětí v interiéru. Jako jednotlivec z subkultury.
