About Spike Svjetiljka

Spike lampica se igra s kontrastima. Odraz je punk kulture, ali ipak smiruje skandinavsko raspoloženje. To je voluminozan komad, ali toplo se svjetlo fokusira u mali šiljasti prostor ispod komada. Spike svjetiljka ima agresivan izgled zbog metalnih šiljaka koji su usmjereni prema gledatelju. U isto vrijeme postoji nešto mirno u glatkoći keramičke površine i toplom svjetlu. Svjetiljka stvara napetost u unutrašnjosti. Kao pojedinac iz subkulture.

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.
