The Design
About Meduse Skulpturel Lampe
Meduse er en skulpturel lampe inspireret af marine habitater. Hver enkelt lampe kombinerer Raku-keramik med mundblæste tentakler af Murano-glas. Lampen er velegnet til både indendørs og udendørs brug og skaber lys- og skyggeeffekter på nærliggende vægge. Den flerfarvede LED-belysning kan justeres med en fjernbetjening. Keramikkroppen modelleres i ildfast ler, tørres, brændes, glaseres og brændes igen ved 930 grader Celsius, hvorefter den tages ud af ovnen, mens den stadig er varm. Det resulterende termiske chok skaber en krakeleret overflade med metalliske og iriserende reflekser.

- Unique Properties
- Global design and local identities,they are collector's pieces.
Two identities, Peru and Italy two different cultures highly integrated in the Medusa lamps, after a process of deconstruction and liberation from history for giving space to a new syncretic language.
Integration of two materials only ceramic Peru and Murano glass, harmonized thanks to the reflections of multicolored Led lighting.
Raku process during the heat shock, the flames and the oxygen reduction method at 930 degrees celsius, are decisive for both the craquelure decorative effect and metallic and iridescent reflections. - Dimensions & Packaging
- Materials: Raku ceramic, Murano glass, multicolored Led RGB

- Production Technology
- After the modelling with refractory clay, I begin a deconstruction process of the traditional shape, a 20 day long drying process begins. I go on with the first cooking at 950 degrees celsius, the glazing process and the second cooking into a Raku oven at 930 degrees celsius. The object is removed still white-hot from the oven. Arrangement of the Led lighting system and finally the insertion of the Murano blown glass tentacles.
- Design Challenge
- Take the pieces out of the oven at 940 degrees celsius and quickly manage the thermal shock in three minutes.
The integration of the glass tentacles on the ceramic base. - Research
- The goal is to create lamps that integrate Art and Design. The method is transversal by integrating two techniques ceramics with Murano glass; Through the Deconstruction of art, a process of liberation from the traditional historical form begins to give way to a new syncretic language. Two readings: Fusion of different techniques and cultures and Safeguarding the oceans, a tropicalization of the Mediterranean is occurring.The lamp has had a positive impact in Milan and in the VeniceGlassWeek 2020
- Inspiration
- The Marine Habitat, I conceive my works as reflections of a recreated nature, the connection between nature and culture is a constant in my work. I work across different disciplines.I began a path of alienation from the Traditional shape in order to give way to a new syncretic language by the deconstruction of the art.
The work communicates two levels of interpretation:
Fusion and integration of two cultures, Peru and Italy.
Safeguarding seas and oceans: a Tropicalization of the Mediterranean sea is occurring. - Project Duration
- Modeled with clay: 12 days
Drying: 20 days
Blown glass processing: 7 days
Location: Lido of Venice and Murano,Italy - Operation Flow
- The object can be used as an Indoor and Outdoor Lamp. The lamp is suitable for creating new atmospheres with light and shadow effects on the wall. The user can interact by changing different colors using the remote control.
