The Design

About Spike Lanpara

Spike lanpara kontrasteekin jolasten da. Punk kulturaren isla da, baina oraindik Eskandinaviako umorea lasaitzeko. Pieza mamitsua da, baina argi epela piezaren azpian puntu puntuko gune txikira bideratuta dago. Spike lanparak itxura oldarkorra du ikuslerantz zuzentzen den metalezko erpinengatik. Aldi berean, zeramikazko gainazalaren leuntasunari eta argi epelari buruzko zerbait lasaia dago. Lanparak tentsioa sortzen du barrualdean. Azpikultura bateko gizabanakoa bezala.

Design Challenge: The challenge of the design was to create sophisticated piece with high quality materials, yet create a piece with a startling pulchritude.
Research: In the nature spikes are used to protect ones core, for example in the spiked plants and animals defend theirselves. The objective of the design was to simplify mathematical shapes of virus like forms into aesthetic outcome that has philosophical approach on social distancing.
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.
