About Spike Lámpada

A lámpada Spike xoga con contrastes. Reflicte á cultura punk, pero calma o humor escandinavo. É unha peza voluminosa, pero a luz quente está enfocada nunha pequena área punxente baixo a peza. A lámpada Spike ten un aspecto agresivo por mor das puntas metálicas que apuntan cara ao espectador. Ao mesmo tempo, hai algo de calma sobre a suavidade da superficie cerámica e a luz cálida. A lámpada crea tensión nun interior. Como un individuo dunha subcultura.
