About Spike Lampa

Bidh lampa spike a ’cluich le eadar-dhealachaidhean. Tha e a ’nochdadh do chultar punk, ach fhathast gus faireachdainn Lochlannach a shocrachadh. Is e pìos toirteil a th ’ann, ach a dh’ aindeoin sin tha an solas blàth air a chuimseachadh air àite beag biorach fon phìos. Tha coltas ionnsaigheach air an lampa Spike air sgàth na spìcean meatailt a ’comharrachadh a dh’ ionnsaigh an neach-coimhead. Aig an aon àm tha rudeigin socair mu dheidhinn cho rèidh ‘s a tha an uachdar ceirmeach agus solas blàth. Bidh an lampa a ’cruthachadh teannachadh ann an taobh a-staigh. Coltach ri neach fa leth bho fho-chultar.

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.
