About Grampo Lámpada
A Lámpada Grampo aproveita a flexibilidade natural das fibras de madeira brasileira, permitindo dobrar, fixar ou separar o punto de luz, converténdoo nunha lanterna a batería que se recarrega mentres está fixada no soporte. Este deseño mostra as características inherentes do material e un compromiso coa obtención sostible. Este proxecto combina a carpintaría tradicional con fabricación avanzada, incluíndo a impresión 3D. A Lámpada Grampo está inspirada na rica tradición do deseño en madeira brasileira, pero integra funcionalidades que só están dispoñibles nos tempos contemporáneos.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The Grampo Lamp, made from sustainably managed Brazilian tropical wood, showcases a unique, flexible design. Its column, with a vertical slit, allows for adjustable positioning of the light spot. This innovation, coupled with a wireless energy transmission system using stainless steel blades, offers versatility and doubles as an emergency light. The touch-sensitive control with three intensity levels, smooth lines, and artisanal craftsmanship highlight its functional elegance.

- Production Technology
- All wood is solid, machined, and hand-finished. The top part was made with grooves for the electrical connection, slightly offset to prevent short-circuiting. The wood spot houses all electrical components, fitted inside a 3D printed case, allowing the entire functional part to be removed for maintenance. Connections to the wires from the previous part are made with laser-cut stainless steel 'flaps' that are insulated from each other, sending energy to the battery. The base houses the wiring that is connected to a USB-C port for charging.
- Design Challenge
- The most difficult part of designing and executing the lamp was to harmonize the wood's flexibility with the internal wire connection that allows the lamp to charge when fitted, and also to fit the electronic components inside the removable spot.
- Research
- The project started from a need to illuminate one of my wall pieces in an exposition; I needed an adjustable light for that. I made 5 pieces for the expo, very simple and minimalist, with wires connected permanently to the spot, and a steel column, but the flexible wood concept was already there at the top. I thought I could expand the idea by making the spot wireless, and felt that the overall aspects of the piece could be sleeker and more elegant, inspired a bit by modern-era Brazilian designers.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the flexibility of sustainably sourced Brazilian tropical wood, the Grampo Lamp marries natural beauty with innovative design. It reflects a commitment to environmental responsibility and a fascination with wood's natural properties. This project combines traditional woodworking with advanced manufacturing, including 3D printing, to create a versatile, aesthetically pleasing lamp that pays homage to national identity while pushing the boundaries of sustainable design.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2023 and finished in December 2024. The design and prototyping were all carried out in my shop in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
- Operation Flow
- The lamp can be adjusted slightly in height and angled to change direction. There is a touch-sensitive button on top of the spot to turn on and dim the light. This spot can be removed, serving as a wireless lantern. The battery is also useful during a blackout, or to allow the whole stand to be moved where there is no nearby energy connection, such as outdoors.
