About Depois de Waldemar Cordeiro Teeb

Depois de Waldemar Cordeiro yog ib lub teeb uas tau txais kev tshoov siab los ntawm ib lub teeb txawb hauv pem teb uas ib tug kws txawj ntawv Brazil tau ua thaum kwv yees li xyoo 1955. Cov ntaub ntawv uas tseem tshuav ntawm lub teeb thawj thawj yog tsuas yog ib daim duab ntawm daim ntawv xov xwm me me xwb. Lub teeb tau raug tsim tshiab dua nrog cov khoom siv thiab cov tswv yim niaj hnub no. Cov qauv yog ua los ntawm cov aluminum khov uas raug tsim los ntawm cov tshuab uas tswj hwm los ntawm khoos phis tawj thiab tiav nrog cov xim electrostatic. Ib lub qhov chaw teeb LED 4W xwb tsim tau ntau yam duab ntxoov, txij li grey tsaus mus rau xim dawb ntshiab, los ntawm cov kev xav sab hauv thiab cov kev sib txawv nruab nrab ntawm qhov chaw teeb thiab cov nplhaib dawb.

Dimensions & Packaging: Lamp: 54 cm high x 30 cm of diameter x 3 kg. Luxury crate: 58.5 cm height x 33 cm x 33 cm x 3 kg of MDF. The crate can be used as a base to the lamp (a bonus)

Production Technology: The lamp structure was made of solid aluminum using computerized machines by Alvaro Wolmer Movelaria Fina Ltda, the woodworking and metal shop of the team's head designer, Alvaro Wolmer. The finishing is electrostatic painting
Design Challenge: In the first model, the architect and designer Andre Vainer reproduced the original one, with two lamps. The result was a good light and not so much of an effect regarding the shadings of light, but it was a very good starting point. I was hired to develop the product and produce a prototype of the lamp. I made models to establish the exact proportions then I came up with a simple solution: one simple LED round lamp that delivered a bright enough light. After finishing the pre-prototype, I turned on the light in a dark room - the result was stunning
Research: In c.1955 a fine Brazilian artist designed and made a lamp to illuminate a garden landscape designed by him. There is only a single register of the lamp: a small piece of journal with its photograph. That was the starting point to recreate the lamp and the magnificent light effect produced by it. In 2017 Analivia Cordeiro, the artist's collection curator and an artist herself, and Luciana Brito Galeria, that represents Cordeiro since 1997, both decided to recreate the original one, with contemporary materials and techniques
Inspiration: The original lamp, which only remaining reference is a small piece of newspaper, c. 1955, with a photo of a floor lamp made by Waldemar Cordeiro (1925-1973), a very important contemporary Brazilian artist. Cordeiro was a concrete artist, a theorist, and a landscape designer. The first artist of computer art, now called Digital Art, in Latin America. His works of art are in many important worldwide collections, including the MoMA NY
Project Duration: The project started in March 2017 in Sao Paulo and was finished also in Sao Paulo in October 2018
Operation Flow: There is a on/off press button underside the lamp
Patents: The design was registered in the IAB - Instituto dos Arquitetos do Brasil.
